That statement also doesn't specify gender in the first half of the achievement saying she's the first in a generation AND first female since Faith, both of which are obviously untrue...

congrats to Kelsea for Peter Pan reaching platinum it's her second single to do so Love Me Like You Mean It reached platinum back in August she's the first debut artist in a generation to score three top ten singles from a debut album the last female debut artist to achieve that was Faith Hill in 1993/1994 when Wild One Piece Of My Heart and Take Me As I AM all peaked at either #1 or #2 on the Hot Country Singles & Tracks Chart while But I Will stalled and Peaked at #35 their parent album Take Me As I Am was eventually certified 3 x platinum on April 8th 2003 9 1/2 years after release of her albums it took the longest to receive it's highest certification while it took her 1999 album Breathe roughly 3 1/2 years to reach it's high watermark of 8 x platinum the certifications program began in 1958 Multi Platinum was introduced in 1984 and Diamond in 1999 so since on demand audio/video streams are added to album certifications since February 1st 2016 Michael Jackson's 1982 masterpiece Thriller is triple diamond + 2 x platinum for sales of 32,000,000 in the US. worldwide sales are claimed at 100,000,000 in the R.I.A.A. announcement of the 30 x platinum in December 2015 Holy run-on sentence, Batman!! :o

Ah, I forgot about Taylor (since I frequently attempt to do so). She would be more recent than Carrie, and Gretchen would have been right before Carrie. Regardless of who was before her, this is a great accomplishment for Kelsea and I agree that she'll have another one under her belt before too long.

Congrats to Dierks and Blake. They are the only two country artists to earn two single certifications for songs released this year.
Dierks "Beach" (platinum) & Diff for Girls (gold) Blake CHTF (gold) and SGAWW (gold).
Also this means SGAWW has been certified gold

Oh wow Jana Kramer's "I Got the Boy" is now Platinum. Country radio may have dropped her album era like a hot potato after it peaked, but she stays winning!

Pretty impressive that Brett Young's already Gold with his current single and it's just now breaking into the Top 10. :o

Why do they bunch these now rather than certify them as they reach the milestone? Some are certified that way, but seems like the bigger stars have theirs all bunched, so a song can reach a milestone but it is not officially recognized for months -- or longer? Is it a cost thing? Does it look better for the artist? Or is it less important for the labels and their artists as it is for up and comers?

Certifications only happen after labels pay for them.

Keith's GH album has been eligible for 1xP for four years. I've tweeted him for years and even wrote him at his website.
Labels are lazy. There seems to be no rhyme or reason sometimes.
Why hasn't Jason Aldean's and Florida Georgia Line's latest studio albums been certified?

It could also serve as promotion for when Keith Urban (in this instance) releases another Ripcord single or a lead single from a new album. I do find it interesting that Urban has now four certified platinum albums within a month of each other.
