Michael Jackson's Catalogue Garners Major New Gold & Platinum Awards
New York, NY (Top40 Charts) A week before the worldwide Diamond Celebration of Michael Jackson's birthday (August 29th), the popularity of the iconic artist and his extensive catalogue shows no sign of slowing down. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) announced today that 21 different songs and three albums, spanning Jackson's career, have garnered major new Gold and Platinum certifications.

Some of Jackson's more renown albums and songs are newly multi-Platinum, while other songs are earning Gold status for the first time, demonstrating the enduring interest in Jackson's extensive catalogue. The new song awards mean that Michael Jackson enjoys 40 million cumulative digital singles certifications in the US.

"These new awards highlight the enduring legacy of Michael Jackson," said Mitch Glazier, President, RIAA. "Michael's music continues to be a dominant cultural force today. That's a testament to his iconic music and to the team that astutely protects his legacy. As we celebrate 60 years of Gold and Platinum Awards this year, we are proud to recognize once again one of the program's signature artists."

"Michael Jackson's music and short films continue to thrill fans and inspire artists all over the world. These new certifications are a testament to Michael's continued legacy," Richard Story, President CMG, Sony Music Entertainment.
