FIMI Multi-Platinum

FIMI - English translation being Italian Music Industry Federation - is impressive in certification requisites from Gold to Platinum to Diamond.  BPI (British standard for certification) falls second in line to the United States and Japan, in my opinion, is the eastern equivalent to RIAA.

Alas, this post will focus on FIMI and Multi-Platinum certified albums.

Note - Platinum alone requires 50,000 sales.

*Italian artists are not included due to the language barrier and inability to translate.
