Congratulations to Phillip Phillip. Not only has his blockbuster hit “Home” gone double platinum, but it was recently certified by the RIAA making the designation OFFICIAL!

Phillip is the first American Idol winner to have a coronation single go double plat. David Cook’s “Time of My Life” and Kelly Clarkson’s “Moment Like This” sold more than a million copies.

Be sure to tune into the World Series on FOX tonight at 8/7c pm, where Phillip is set to kick off the series by singing the National Anthem.

Phillip’s debut album, The World From the Side of the Moon will be available everywhere November 19.

    You know, I wasn’t a fan during the show (though did appreciate his personality, and liked a couple performances a lot) — but this is just a damn good song. And I swear I can’t get through a day without hearing it multiple times :) Big congrats to Phillip Phillips! It’s a fantastic achievement.

    How amazing that this song that was released 5 months ago is still holding its own at #11 at iTunes, two months after the end of the Olympics. The oldest single in the top 11 afaik, although Some Nights comes close when it comes to endurance. What a ride! Congrats P2!

    The Olympics game Home a boost, but it’s radio that has kept it going.  And Phillip deserves his fair share of credit for that.   

  • Klaine

    Wish him luck but honestly this had more to do with the song-and the incredible good fortune of tying it to the Olympics and then other commercials more than PP himself

    Just 2 millions? Should be at least 3 millions, right? ?
