Chris Janson Earns RIAA Gold Certification For ‘Done’

Warner Music Nashville recording artist Chris Janson has received RIAA Gold certification for his multi-week No. 1 single “Done”.

WMN’s EVP of A&R Cris Lacy and EVP/GM Ben Kline recently joined Kelly Janson (CJ Management) and Tom Lord (Red Light Management) to present Janson with a plaque to commemorate this accomplishment.

“I knew that ‘Done’ was a special song the day it was written and recorded,” says Janson. “It’s a true story, and I’m just so thankful that the song and the video connect with people. Being presented with this awesome Gold plaque by Cris Lacy, who signed me, and Ben Kline really means so much. I have such sincere gratitude to all of the Warner Music Nashville team and all the fans who made this possible.”

With this latest milestone, all of Janson’s Top 5 singles – four of which have hit No. 1 – have been certified Gold or Platinum.
