Asociación Colombiana de Productores de Fonogramas
From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
The Colombian Association of Phonogram Producers (Spanish: Asociación Colombiana de Productores de Fonogramas, ASINCOL) was a trade group representing the recording industry in Colombia.
ASINCOL was responsible for music recording sales certification in Colombia[1] and was list as the International Standard Recording Code (ISRC) agency for Colombia until October 2008.[2] It was later closed and no local ISRC agency was list in Colombia from November 2008[3] to July 2021.[4] In 2022, the Colombian Association of Performers and Phonogram Producers (Spanish: Asociación Colombiana de Intérpretes y Productores Fonográficos, ACINPRO) replaced it as the local ISRC agency for that country.[5]
Sales certificates[edit]
ASINCOL was responsible for awarding music recording certifications in Colombia until the organization closed. The certification levels for albums until 2000 were 30,000 for gold and 60,000 for Platinum.[6] Until 2004 were 15,000 for Gold and 30,000 for Platinum. Due to low sales, the levels were lowered in 2004 to 10,000 for Gold and 20,000 for Platinum.[1] In 2007 the lower levels for international repertoire were introduced, requiring 5,000 units for Gold and 10,000 for Platinum, while the domestic levels remained unchanged.[7]
ASINCOL also certified music videos, with certification levels of 5,000 for Gold and 10,000 for Platinum.[7]
