Phillip Phillips Album Platinum

Phillip Phillips' debut album "The World from the Side of the Moon" has culminated it's slow, steady climb to platinum status by selling its millionth copy this month (September).

Off the top of my head, other Idols who have had platinum albums include Kelly Clarkson, Clay Aiken, Ruben Studdard, Fantasia, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Hicks, Chris Daughtry, Jordin Sparks, David Cook, Adam Lambert and Scotty McCreery.

By platinum, I mean at least one million sold worldwide. So for Seasons 1 through 11, only Season 9 failed to produce a platinum album.
