Every plaque the sixteen artists hold in South Africa, priced at RiSA's own published threshold and ranked. Each figure is a floor — a plaque says at least, never what a record sold.

‡ RiSA roughly doubled its thresholds for sales after 1 January 2024 — singles Gold 10,000 → 20,000, Platinum 20,000 → 40,000; albums Gold 15,000 → 25,000, Platinum 30,000 → 50,000 — and prints both regimes side by side. Priced at today's level; a plaque awarded before 2024 may have cleared the lower bar.

Wizkid and Davido lead South Africa. The head-to-head puts them side by side in every country at once.
Wizkid vs DavidoHow this is counted
One plaque per release per country
At its current tier. Gold → Platinum → 2× Platinum is the same sales recertified, never three sales.
Each body's own threshold
Streams-based bodies — Czechia, Denmark, France, the Netherlands, Norway and Slovakia — are converted with the body's own published download-equivalence, never an estimate.
Not quite everything can be priced
Mexico and Sweden publish their song levels in streams and no download-equivalence — those plaques are converted at 100 streams to a unit, the ratio Denmark and Norway publish, and marked §. Poland measures singles in złoty of revenue and Colombia publishes no thresholds. Greece is priced at IFPI's June 2013 level — the last the umbrella body ever published for it — and marked ¶. The unpriced plaques are listed, never summed, and never hidden.
