Beyoncé's new album 4 is now certified platinum after selling one million units in the US.
Her official website released the following statement:
"4 has been certified Platinum by the RIAA. Thank you to all the fans that purchased the album. We hope you're enjoying it as much as we are."
This is Beyonce's fourth album to go platinum.
Bey says she wasn't out to break any records:
"I really wanted to get the critical acclaim. I feel like the longer I do this—I've been doing it for 15 years now—No. 1s are amazing, but to see some of the comments that the Rolling Stones and The New York Times and all of these credible, amazing, really critical magazines and papers [are saying] has really made me my proudest."
