One Direction’s “Made In The AM” officially arrived on November 13, 2015.
On December 11, 2015, it was formally certified gold in the United States.
The gold certification confirms a US shipment total in excess of 500,000. The shipment qualification is, of course, not necessary in this case: “Made In The AM” has already sold well over 500,000 copies to US consumers.
“Made In The AM” is the fifth One Direction studio album. The previous four have all been certified platinum or better in the US.
