Congrats JT. He's the years best selling artist! Who cares if the platinum plaque comes ahead of the million in sales? That album is less than 3 months old and is already at almost 700k, so it'll eventually sell that much. Also, the RIAA makes the rules...and the rule has almost been that certifications are based on SHIPMENTS, not sales. Why so many people have a hard time with this very, very old concept is beyond me. It's not new.
