Canadian sensation Justin Bieber may have been booed at last night's (May 19) Billboard Music Awards ceremony, but he now has a new achievement that is sure to make him very happy.

The star's hit single 'Baby', which has gone 12 times Platinum since its release in 2010, has been named the highest certified song in American music history.

The 'Boyfriend' heartthrob has now beaten Elton John's double-sided 'Candle in the Wind/Something About the Way You Look Tonight,' which went 11 times platinum back in 1997 and previously held the impressive record.

The recent change made by the Recording Industry Association of America, which incorporates on-demand streaming data when it comes to measuring gold and platinum success, helped Bieber in reaching the feat as 100 streams is now considered equivalent to one download. Watch Bieber perform 'Take You' at the Billboard Music Awards here:
