platinum single
Million-selling radio hit
A platinum single is a song that has sold one million copies or its streaming equivalent, as certified by music industry organizations like the RIAA in the United States.
The threshold varies by country—in the UK, it's 600,000 units.
Higher levels exist: double platinum means two million, diamond means ten million.
Her debut single went platinum within six weeks of release.
