The British Phonographic Industry has confirmed that the late George Michael, who died in December, has achieved a huge new sales milestone in the UK

The BPI tweeted: "Just over a month since his passing, @GeorgeMichael's 'Twenty Five' has gone 3x Platinum!" Platinum certification of an album in the UK means that sales have passed 900,000 copies. 

Elsewhere The Weeknd's mixtape compilation album 'Trilogy' has been certified Gold, Fifth Harmony have gone Silver with 'That's My Girl', selling 200,000 copies, and The Chainsmokers ft. Phoebe Ryan's 'All We Know' has also been confirmed Silver.
