Сколько "золотых" и "платиновых" дисков?

Меня давно мучает вопрос кому принадлежит самое большее количество "золотых" и "платиновых" дисков.
Я стал рыться, но к однозначному ответу так и не пришел, т.к. в одних источниках указывается, что это Пол Маккартни, а в других - Иглесиас который Хулио.
Пишется, что Иглесиас продал свыше 250 миллионов пластинок и компакт-дисков. Среди них - 965 "золотых" дисков и 350 "платиновых", рекорд, зафиксированный в знаменитой Книге Гиннеса.
А что же Маккартни?

Еще вопрос: где можно посмотреть информацию по участию экс-битлов в продюсировании и записи песен(альбомов) др. музыкантов?
Спасибо

Н-да, может Джеко и выиграл суд, но тиражи AC/DC (66,0 млн копий, или пусть для красоты будет 66,6) ставят его титул Короля Попа под вопрос. Кроме того, Джин Симмонс и Ко побиты Карпентарами, Шадэ и даже Motley Crue, когда-то выступавшими на разогреве у Kiss. В общем, Kiss даже не попали в первую сотню. Что также немного удивляет - это то, что AC/DC также переплюнули по тиражам "Роллингов", Мадонну и Спрингстина, а "Back in Black" аж на 5-м месте среди альбомов. "It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock'n'roll".
"Битлз" к удовольствию всех битломанов возглавляют список. Далеко позади них на 2-м месте Элвис. Led Zep - на почетном 3-м. Кантри-сингер Гарт Брукс обошел самих Eagles. Элтон "низко пал" на 9-е место.

THE BOOK OF GOLDEN DISC
The Records that sold a MILLION
Compiled by Joseph Murrells
Great Britan © 1978

The aim of this book is to set out in chronological order the details and story of every phonograph disc which has been certified or reliably reported to have sold one million or more units globally.
The order within any given year is alphabetical except that musical-show albums and filmtrack albums are listed at the beginning of their year of issue. When both sides of a disc are known to have contributed to the sale, the full details are given for both recordings. When an artist has a string of golden discs his or her personal details will normally be found under the first million seller.
The exact point in time when a golden disc was first given by a company to an artist has not been established with certainty. The germ of the idea, we think, started in 1905, when the Gramophone Company of Britain presented a bracelet to Marie Hall who was the first woman violinist to become a popular recording artist. The presentation charm bracelet was made of gold and pearls and displayed a minute violin, a tapered gramophone arm, and seven tiny golden discs, representing her seven bestselling records. The first gold disc ever awarded to an artist is believed to have been given to the Glenn Miller orchestra by RCA Victor on 10 February 1942, over the Chesterfield Radio Broadcast. The presentation was for Miller's recording of 'Chattanooga Choo Choo' which sold over 1,200,000 copies on RCA's Bluebird label, and it was in the form of a gold-lacquered stamper. Brad McCuen, RCA Victor artists and repertoire producer, found mention of this while preparing a new album by the orchestra under its leader, Buddy DeFranco, in 1968. The framed record was then found in the possession of Miller's daughter. Perfectionist Miller had every Chesterfield Radio Broadcast of the band's performance put on records for his private use, and these were left intact at the time of Miller's untimely death on 15 December 1944. It was from one of these that McCuen heard the presentation by RCA's Wally Earl taking place on the recording, dated 10 February 1942.
The first country gold record was awarded to Elton Britt for There's a Star Spangled Banner Waving Somewhere' in 1944. It was presented by him to the Country Music Hall of Fame on 23 May 1968.

Before 1958, gold discs were given to artists on an informal basis. Since 1958, the gold discs have been certified by the Recording Industry Association of America (R.I.A.A.) for 1,000,000 single sales and a gross of $1,000,000 for album sales. A list of million-dollar selling albums will be found in this book.
The criteria for Gold Record Award certification by R.I.A.A. for a long-playing record and/or its counterparts on pre-recorded tape cassettes or cartridges was changed for all recordings released on or after 1 January 1975. The new standard became a minimum sale of 500,000 units regardless of the list price of the record album and/or its counterparts. Recordings released before that date continued to qualify at the prior standard of $1 million at the manufacturer's level. Platinum Record Award certifications commenced on 1 April 1976 for long-playing record albums and their counterparts on prerecorded tapes achieving a minimum sale of one million units, and for single records selling a minimum of two million units for recordings feleased on or after 1 January 1976.
Gold discs are also awarded in smaller countries for sale of 10,000, 25,000, 50,000, 100,000, etc., or as the case may be, taking into consideration the total population of the country concerned, those being their equivalent of a 'million' sale.
Sales Figures
The million selling discs listed in the body of this work were either reported as having reached that figure by the manufacturers themselves to various musical magazines and newspapers or the information appeared in the general press. Since only some of the sales figures have been certified by actual audit the Compiler cannot verify the listings, but has passed on such information as many years of research have led him to believe is derived from acceptable reports.

Я тоже раньше руководствовался этой информацией, но оказалось, что она безнадежно устарела.
Вот, совсем недавно в одной из тем papan дал такую ссылку, которая коренным образом изменила мое представление о цене "золотых" и "платиновых" дисков:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_album

Все течет, все меняется.
Особенно впечатляет бриллиантовый счет...
