Bruno Mars' '24K Magic' album just achieved three big milestones.
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has certified Bruno Mars' 2016 album, '24K Magic', double platinum, with sales and music streams in excess of two-million.
That's not all the 31-year-old has to celebrate. The album's lead single, '24K Magic', and its follow up hit, 'That's What I Like', were certified quadruple platinum.
Both singles are still getting major airplay around the world. 'That's What I Like' is currently at number 28 on the Coca-Cola Top 40 chart.
The videos for both songs have been watched nearly 800-million times on YouTube.
'24K Magic' is Bruno's third consecutive LP to reach multi-platinum status.
His debut album, 'Doo-Wops & Hooligans', achieved 5x platinum status, while his second record, 'Unorthodox Jukebox' earned a quadruple platinum certification.
