题目解答
答案
解析
本题考查对音乐销售认证体系的基本概念和相关机构的了解。关键点在于：
- RIAA（美国唱片工业协会）是主要认证机构，但需注意其作用范围是否为全球；
- 奖项分类与颁发对象（金、白金、钻石奖对应不同销量，适用于专辑、单曲、音乐视频）；
- 认证门槛的地区差异性（不同地区标准不同，但同一地区内类型可能有差异）。
选项分析
选项A
错误。RIAA确实引入了金唱片奖，但“gold record”这一术语的商标归属需注意：RIAA是美国机构，全球其他地区可能有不同机构（如BPI），因此“world”表述不准确。
选项B
正确。金、白金、钻石奖是基于销量颁发给专辑、单曲、音乐视频的全球通用奖项，且系统统称为Music Recording Sales Certification。虽然各地区标准不同，但题目未涉及地区差异，仅描述奖项本质。
选项C
错误。奖项并非同时创建：金唱片最早出现，白金和钻石奖是后续补充，时间线不符。
选项D
错误。认证门槛同一地区内不同类型（如专辑与单曲）不同，但“不同地区”标准确实存在差异。选项前半句“不同类型门槛相同”错误。
