In July 2005, ARIA staged the inaugural ARIA Icons: Hall of Fame event, which was introduced to honour the growing number of legendary performers, producers, songwriters and others who have had an impact on music culture in Australia. In the past, time constraints had prevented any more than one or two artists from being inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame at each ARIA Awards, resulting in a lengthy waiting list of worthy recipients.

While ARIA intends to maintain a Hall of Fame segment within the ARIA Awards presentation, the ARIA Icons: Hall of Fame will become an annual stand-alone event that continues to honour those whose musical achievements have had A significant impact in Australia and around the world.

ARIA certifications

A music single or album qualifies for a platinum certification if it exceeds 70,000 copies shipped to retailers and a gold certification for 35,000 copies shipped. The amount of trade sales to earn a gold or platinum accreditation was reduced to these amounts in 1989 after previously being 100,000 copies for platinum and 50,000 copies for gold. Originally applied to LP records, this ARIA certification is now most commonly awarded for compact disc sales.

Gold and Platinum certifications are given solely for the number of albums stocked by retailers. Large record companies will often ship large quantities of stock to outlets to achieve a "Gold" or "Platinum" status, thus creating some sort of hype around the artist.

According to undercover. com. au, Australian Idol 2 winner Casey Donovan's debut sold less than 35,000 (at HMV stores Australia wide), however 210,000 copies were sent to stockists.

Gold and Platinum certifications do not correlate directly to the amount actually bought by consumers.

In Australia for music videos including Audio Visual DVDs, gold represents 7,500 copies shipped, platinum 15,000.
