Adele’s ’25’ Is Officially Diamond Certified, While Single “Hello” Is Now 7 Times Platinum
Just 10 months after its release, Adele’s third album 25 officially received a Diamond certification from the RIAA on September 20, in recognition of 10 million units moved. The British singer’s juggernaut LP was released on November 20, 2015, and has so far sent singles “Hello” to the top of the Billboard Hot 100, “Send My Love (To Your New Lover)” into the Top 10 and “When We Were Young” into the Top 20.
Speaking of the singles off 25, “When We Were Young” has now earned Platinum status, while “Hello” is certified 7 times Platinum.
The achievements don’t stop with 25, though; Adele’s debut album 19 was certified three times Platinum on September 20, and 2011 follow-up 21, which spawned three chart-topping singles in the US, is now 14 times Platinum.
To-date, 25 has spent 10 weeks atop the Billboard 200. It would be a shocker if the album isn’t nominated for at least a couple Grammys once December rolls around, so expect it to rack up more time at #1, as well as more sales, during holiday and awards season.
