Over 60 independent artists win new IMPALA Awards, with European Platinum for Adele, Pink Martini and Scooter
IMPALA announces its next batch of sales awards with European Platinum for Adele, Pink Martini and Scooter.
The new winners include three Platinum, four Diamond, eighteen Gold and thirty-eight Silver from all across Europe.
In total over 550 awards have been registered so far representing more than 55 million CDs sold and over ¾ billion euros in revenue.
The IMPALA Sales Awards are the only pan-European awards devoted to independent artists. They are the first awards to recognise that success on a pan-European basis needs to be acknowledged on different levels. They celebrate the fact that achievement and success begins well before 1 million (the only pan-European sales level officially recognised before IMPALA launched its own scheme).
The IMPALA Sales Awards are an extra tool for independents and their artists to market themselves internationally. IMPALA’s on-line certification system is available at www.impalamusic.org where framed awards can also be ordered.
The awards are part of IMPALA’s wider strategy to create new opportunities to promote independent music, real entrepreneurship and cultural diversity, in the face of increasing concentration.
The award levels are:
Impala Silver 30 000
Impala Gold 100 000
Impala Diamond 250 000
Impala Platinum 500 000
Impala Double Platinum 1,000 000
Impala Multi Platinum 1,500 000 ++
