It varies by country. In the United States Album or Single sales have to be 500,000 for a gold, 1,000,000 for a platinum and 10,000,000 for a diamond.
In Canada, for albums, you need record sales of 50,000 for a gold, 100,000 for a platinum, and 1,000,000 for a diamond. For Singles you need 5,000 for a gold, 10,000 for a platinum, and 100,000 for a diamond.
In the UK you need album sales of 60,000 for a silver, 100,000 for a gold, and 300,000 for a platinum. For single sales you need 200,000 for a silver, 400,000 for a gold, and 600,000 for a platinum.
