Today I was watching on Wikipedia THE various copies that differenti countries has settled for having a golden disc, a platinum disc, or, a diamond disc in Italy you need to sell 25K copies for a golden disc, 50k for platinum and 100k for diamond disc, in USA 500k for a golden disc, 1M for a platinum and 10M for a diamond disc.
It is impossible to verify if Fabro got a real double golden disc but my question is what is the sales number for a disc to become a golden disc a platinum disc and a diamond disc????

What are the standards for Congo to get these discs, like you specified for USA ?

It is what I am asking in the post, anyway, I have found the list of countries with platinum and so sale numbers in THE italiano page of Wikipedia here, but there ism't Congo or many other african countries.

Congolese (and Francophone Artists) use SNEP for certification, which is National Syndicate of Phonographic Publishing. Interestingly, world artists are not listed on their site, but their representatives are the ones who distribute gold/platinum disc to artists who meet sales requirements
American (and Anglophone artists) use the RIAA, the Recording Industry Association of America for certification
To answer your question, like many online who have investigated - there's no legitimate way Fabro could've gotten two separate disc d'ors that quickly when way less than 50,000 CDs were fabricated. Streaming, supposedly, still has a small impact on SNEP requirements. Only RIAA made changes to make streaming equal to CD sales, which is why it seems like American artists got platinum every week.
Lastly, the encasing of Fabro disc d'or is way nicer that even what platinum selling American artists receive; so it's very suspect.
