Frank Ocean’s Blond is officially certified platinum

Frank Ocean's 2016 album Blond has passed 1 million sales and is now certified platinum.

The landmark achievement was confirmed on July 9 by the R.I.A.A. Producer Vegyn, who worked with Ocean on the album and played in his live band, shared the news early on Tuesday. Ocean's previous album, Channel Orange, achieved gold status in 2013.

Earlier this year Frank Ocean fans finally got hold of physical copies of 2016's Endless while he also appeared on two tracks on A$AP Rocky's new album. Ocean also found the time to stand up for free speech and the love of a good stand-up comedy routine.
