It was announced earlier today (May 30) that the popular record has now been certified quadruple Platinum in the UK and despite having only been released 8 months ago has managed to sell a phenomenal 1,200,000 copies.

He took to his official Twitter page this afternoon and thanked his fans for their continued support, writing: "Very happy to announce my debut album '+' has now gone quadruple platinum in the UK, awesome!"
