Gold
and platinum certifications in the US (according to RIAA):
Gold
singles (1 million copies sold):
Love
to love you baby; i feel love, last dance, macarthur park,
heaven knows, dim all the lights, no more tears (12 inch), the
wanderer, this time i know it’s for real
Platinum
singles (2 million copies sold): hot stuff, bad girls, no more
tears (7 inch)
Gold
albums (500 thousand copies sold): love to love you baby, a love
trilogy, 4 seasons of love, once upon a time, the wanderer,
donna summer, she works hard for the money
Platinum
album (1 million copies): live & more
Double
platinum albums (2 million copies): bad girls, greatest hits on
the radio
Note:
Singles that reached 1 million copies sold were certified gold until
1989, from this year on the requirement for a gold certificate
was reduced to 500,000 copies only. For a platinum certification,
a single had to sell 2 million, but in 1989 this figure was
decreased to 1 million only. Therefore, This Time I Know It’s
For Real is Donna’s only gold single that wasn’t a million seller.
There
has been no change in the criteria for albums.

like to thank my very good friend Marcelo Soares for his hard work in
compiling all the data above and gently sending it to me. He's always
sending me new information on charts concerned to Donna's records. So, keep checking
this section out for constant updates. Check out also Marcelo's profile at Friends
