Default 03/20/07 - Akon's Album Certified Double Platinum By The RIAA

03/20/07 - Akon's Album Certified Double Platinum By The RIAA

The RIAA has certified SRC/Universal Motown's global superstar Akon's sophomore album Konvicted, double platinum. At the same time, the trailblazing Senegalese star is gracing the cover of Vibe Magazine's April issue and is dubbed the ‘last hitmaker' by the urban tome. Akon continues to live up to the moniker, propelling his third single from Konvicted, "Don't Matter," to a trio of #2's- Billboard "Hot 100" chart, the Billboard Rhythmic "Top 40" chart and the Billboard "Hot Digital Songs" chart.

Akon was also recently hailed as Cingular's top- selling ringtone artist ever. He is the only artist to have two double platinum ringtones, "Smack That" and "I Wanna Love You."

The charismatic singer/songwriter/producer is currently putting the finishing touches on his new road show where he joins superstar diva Gwen Stefani on the 38-city tour, one of spring's most anticipated live treks. The Sweet Escape Tour will kick off on April 22 in San Diego at the Coors Amphitheatre and wraps on June 23 in Irvine at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater. The two stars collaborated recently on Stefani's musical gem "The Sweet Escape," adding to Akon's midas touch as a producer, the song currently peaks at #3 on the Billboard "Hot 100" chart.


Konvicted has become the breakthrough album of the year around the globe, rocketing towards platinum in the UK, France, Canada, South Africa, Ireland and New Zealand. "Smack That" has already hit #1 in the UK, France, Australia and New Zealand. With the success of his debut release, Trouble and the #1 international smash "Lonely," Akon has been certified gold or platinum in more than a dozen countries. Akon's life story has also become one of the most inspirational music sagas in recent memory, turning his life around after a stint in prison by pursuing a career in music, notching millions in albums sales since his seminal debut album Trouble.

Cant really think of comparing Game to Akon, Totaly different Shit, Akon is on Justin Timberlakes level, while game is a hardcore rapper... Besides that Da beats are raw as fuck, i am actually amazed how game sold 900 000.... Beats are good but to ghutta... Look at Jeezy, he is doing so good With Sort of Mellow, RNB-Electro Club beats, While being completely wack lyrically...Its all about Beats these days, lyrics DOnt matter...
