Collector Significance

This award is an authentic label-issued recognition plaque, not a retail display piece. Such plaques were presented internally to the label, publishers, producers, and songwriters affiliated with the single’s success. Warner/Chappell presentation versions are particularly collectible due to limited distribution within the music industry.
