43 artists earned first-time Gold or Platinum Awards in 2021.
Every artist’s story is different. But one common thread for those who break through to G&P recognition is a great partnership with a label team that supports their music, craft, and journey to creative and commercial success. Breaking, supporting, and championing artists and their music is what the people who work at record labels do every day. #LabelsAtWork
