RIAA is responsible from all Gold, Platinum and Diamond recording awards, based completely on sales.

Actually RIAA awards are not based on sales - they never have been. They are based on royalties paid to the performer. ANY record company will say that their performer sold 10,000,000 copies - as several companies have done this! But when it comes to paying for those royalties - they provide NO proof whatsoever!!!
