“Off The Wall” certified 9x Multi-Platinum by RIAA

Yesterday, the single “Off The Wall” was released in 1980 (Feb, 02) but the RIAA, The Recording Industry Association of America®, also awarded the album of the same name a 9x Multiple-Platinum Certification meaning the 1979’s album sold over 9 million copies since its release in America.
