Kurtis Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Jay-Z will go platinum sooner thanks to RIAA rule tweak The Samsung giveaway of 'Magna Carta Holy Grail' won't add to Jay-Z's 'Billboard' total, but RIAA's rule change will give him fast platinum bragging rights. Jay-Z's Magna Carta Holy Grail will get a quicker platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America, which just altered its rules regarding digital albums. The album, officially out July 9, will be available free on July 4 to the first 1 million Samsung phone users to download it with a special app. Jay-Z lost the battle to have the giveaway counted toward hisBillboard and SoundScan tally, but RIAA will accept the freebies, and the rap titan will be allowed to apply for certification upon deliveryrather than be forced to wait 30 days, as earlier stipulated by the trade organization's regulations.An updateposted by communications director Liz Kennedy on the RIAA website Monday stated:"By now, many of us in the music business, as well as Jay-Z fans, know that Samsung has purchased one million Magna Carta Holy Grail digital albums to be given away to the phone maker's customers. It is a novel and creative marketing move and it has rightly stimulated a healthy conversation about the sale's meaning and implications for the modern music business."For us, the move prompted a re-examination of our historic Gold & Platinum (G&P) Program award rules. As we dug through the records of audits, re-reviewed rules and consulted with our auditing firm of more than thirty years, Gelfand, Rennert & Feldman, we discovered one rule disparity that no longer makes sense."One of our program's requirements is that an album can become eligible for certification 30 days after release date. (There are other rules, of course — such as requiring that the price of the album meet certain requirements.) The 30-day rule exists to take into account potential returns of physical product — CDs, cassettes, vinyl, etc. that could be shipped to brick and mortar retailers and returned, in which case our auditors do not count the sales."When we first created the Digital Single Award in 2004, we elected not to impose any 30-day rule because there are very few digital returns. According to our auditing firm, digital returns on average account for less than two percent of sales included in reports provided by the labels for certification — most digital retailer Terms of Use/Service allow users to return products only under limited circumstances."Also at the time in 2004, sales of digital albums were virtually non-existent and accounted for a small fraction of overall digital sales. Fast forward a decade and that's obviously no longer the case."We think it's time for the RIAA — and Gelfand, Rennert & Feldman — to align our digital song and album certification requirements. That's why today we are officially updating this rule in our G&P Program requirements. Going forward, sales of albums in digital format will become eligible on the release date, while sales of albums in physical format will still become eligible for certification 30 days after the release date."Not only do we believe it's sensible and logical to align digital album rules with those we have maintained for digital singles since the program's inception, we also consider today's move in line with our larger efforts to modernize the G&P Program to reflect the new music marketplace. In May we announced the integration of on-demand streams to the program to more broadly recognize online demand for songs."The reality is that how fans consume music is changing, the music business is changing as labels and artists partner with a breathtaking array of new technology services, and the industry's premier award recognizing artists' commercial achievement should similarly keep pace. In short, we're continuing to move the 55-year-old program forward and it's a good day when music sales diversification and innovative strategies meet the RIAA's time-tested, gold standard requisites for certification." http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/music/2013/07/01/jay-z-goes-platinum-earlier-thanks-to-riaa-rule-change/2480505/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incumbent Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 JAY-Z>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>___________ THE REAL ALL ROUND G.O.A.T OF THIS RAP THING!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 Jay-Z has revealed the simple artwork to his new album 'Magna Carta Holy Grail'. The album is due for release this week (July 4) and the rapper has revealed a tracklist for the record and black and white artwork including the initials of each of the four words in the title. The tracklist confirms guest appearances from Rick Ross, Beyoncé and Justin Timberlake. Scroll down to see the full information. Meanwhile, it has been confirmed that producer Rick Rubin did not work on the album, despite appearing in a promotional advert earlier this year. Rubin, who most recently worked with Kanye West on 'Yeezus', appeared alongside Timbaland, Pharrell and Swizz Beatz in a brief clip launched when Jay-Z first announced 'Magna Carta...'. However, speaking to XXL, Rubin admitted he didn't work on the album and was invited to the studio for the purposes of the advert. "The point of me being in the commercials was that he was filming a documentary and he asked me to come listen to the songs with him and just talk about the songs. Just listen to it and talk about it, and that’s what we did," said Rubin. He adds: "It was fun." Confirming that 'Magna Carta Holy Grail' has a 'traditional' sound, Rubin said: "I liked what I heard, but it was a little difficult - after just coming from the Kanye sessions - to listen to Jay’s album, because they’re so different. I was in a very alternative and progressive headspace, and Jay’s record is a more traditional hip-hop record." Additionally, the Record Industry Association of America have confirmed that they have changed their rules for gold and platinum certification, inspired by Jay-Z and his deal with Samsung. The rapper has signed a $5m deal which will see the mobile phone giant purchase 1m copies of his new album before distributing them for free to existing customers. Liz Kennedy, the director of the RIAA's Gold & Platinum Program, has confirmed that digital album sales will become eligible on their release date, as opposed to the 30 days physical album sales must wait to be classified. "Going forward, sales of albums in digital format will become eligible on the release date, while sales of albums in physical format will still become eligible for certification 30 days after the release date," says Kennedy. "Not only do we believe it’s sensible and logical to align digital album rules with those we have maintained for digital singles since the program’s inception, we also consider today’s move in line with our larger efforts to modernise the Gold & Platinum Program to reflect the new music marketplace." As revealed last week, Jay-Z's new album will use lyrics taken from REM's 'Losing My Religion' and 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' by Nirvana. The lyrics to the REM hit will feature on new song 'Heaven', which was revealed via Jay-Z's Samsung app on June 25. The chorus of "That's Me in the corner/That’s me in the spotlight/Losing my religion" is used repeatedly, while Jay-Z's own lyrics include the line, "Conspiracy theorist screaming/lluminati/They can't believe this much skill is in the human body". Jay-Z also uses lyrics from Nirvana's 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' on 'Holy Grail', a collaboration with Justin Timberlake. It was revealed on June 27 that Frank Ocean features on the aptly-named track 'Oceans'.
