Justin Bieber Beats Elton John On Highest-Certified Singles List

The ultra-successful singer just walked away with a Milestone Award at 19 and NOW he has beat the iconic, the legendary Elton John!

JB’s Baby has gone platinum 12 times to become the HIGHEST-certified single in HISTORY according to Billboard, demolishing The Rocket Man’s 1997 11 times platinum, Candle in the Wind/Something About the Way You Look Tonight.

While it took Elton MANY, many years in the music biz to break the record, Bieby got a hand from the new on-demand streaming data that has been incorporated to measure gold and platinum success.
