I thought it was certified gold back in like, April. I'd have to look it up to be sure, but you may be right--I seem to remember the song surpassing 500k downloads shortly after it peaked at radio. So it's likely that they're just doing this now because it's only been recently certified officially by the RIAA. Plus, it's good press for Dan + Shay, especially with their follow-up single moving slowly through the 20's.

^Labels are cheap and lazy when it comes to certifying albums/singles/videos. They don't want to spend the $.
Rascal Flatts has 2 albums eligible for re-certification, but all three are still undercertified.

Taylor Swift probably should be. Fearless has sold over 6.8 million, so I imagine it has shipped 7 million (or will this holiday season).

Yes, but they took those albums to a new label. They are still for sale. Certifying an album is easy. It's not rocket science. Fill out some paperwork and pay $350.

That Swift one may get certified this year. Urban, Hill, Strait and Toby Keith all could get certified at some point. Rascal Flatts' albums may still being produced by Disney (who owns the masters) but the label certainly doesn't care to certify the trio. Just like the others, it's not a big issue to certify artists that are either dead (John Denver, Johnny Cash) or no longer on the label (Kenny Rogers, Alabama, Rascal Flatts). If the artist's representatives wanted to coordinate w/the labels and get it done, they probably could. In the case of RF, that's the only way it'll happen.

I bet they'll do a major Taylor Swift certification in a little bit. Probably the new album will be ready for 3x, Fearless for 7x, and the Christmas album for 1x (and who knows, maybe some more are close, I'm not sure).

That is impressive, especially considering two didn't even go top 10. He's obviously connecting with fans, now radio just needs to catch on.
