On Tuesday (January 11), the RIAA took to press to announce Fiona’s ‘It Kills Me’ – the second single from her debut album ‘The Bridge’ (2009) – had crossed its threshold for Platinum status, meaning it’s sold the equivalence of 1 million copies in the United States.

The Platinum plaque comes as a milestone for the now 38-year-old songstress as it’s her first single to be certified as high by the organization.

The latest accolade attributed to the Jay Fenix-produced song, ‘Kills’ is not only her biggest hit to date (giving her career peaks on the Hot 100 and R&B chart respectively) but it also nabbed her first GRAMMY nomination.
