All auctions / Music & Musical Instruments / Rod Stewart "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy" Warner Bros Single 45 Award
Warner Bros Records Single 45 award for Rod Stewart hit "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy". Released Nov. 10, 1978, this "platinum" award recognizes sales of two million copies. The single was in fact certified Platinum in 1979 by the RIAA for two million copies sold in the U.S.* (Note: This is not a RIAA award). Stewart co-wrote the track with then drummer Carmine Appice and Duane Hitchings (the latter of whom is not credited on the 45). The tongue-in-cheek, disco-infused number went to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for four weeks in 1979. It also went to #1 on the singles charts in Australia, Canada and the UK. The track has been remade twice since, most recently in 2017 by Stewart himself with DNCE. Includes MusicGoldmine.com Letter Of Authenticity Item Highlights: Detailed Item Description: This is a Warner Bros Records "platinum" award that would have been manufactured around 1979, making it about 47 years old.

These are historical artifacts from the year they were produced. As a result they may show signs of wear. Frankly, if you see a 20 to 50-year-old award purported to be in 100% perfect condition, it might be too good to be true. After all, an antique should have "good' wear. If not, you might want to question the piece. As to where they came from, they could have been displayed in record label offices, recording studios, artist manager's offices, radio stations, private collector's homes and yes, of course, possibly the artist's or songwriter's home. Typically, we don't know all the places they may have been over the years other than what we've stated in the description. Finally, a word on photos: Our photos are zoomable so you can get a very good look. Do let us know if you want photos of any other details on our pieces and we'll be happy to provide. *RIAA sales data source: RIAA.com Warner Bros.
