Keith Urban’s Ripcord has hit Platinum status, becoming only the second country record certified platinum by the RIAA in 2016. “It’s an extraordinary feeling,” Urban tells the Tennessean. “That’s all I can say. I love making music. I love writing. I love playing. I love all the things I get to do. For Ripcord to have done what it’s done is really magical. All the records that I’ve made, I listen to all of them and what I hear is a very truthful capturing of who I was at that time in my life. I feel blessed that I get to say that. I think there are a lot of artists that might be like ‘Oh, I really gave in a bit too much there or I compromised a bit too much there.’ I don’t have one record that is that way for me. Looking back on those records, I feel fantastic. Ripcord is just one of those stars-aligning moments. I feel very, very blessed.” Featuring four number one charting singles, “John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16,” “Break on Me,” “Wasted Time” and “Blue Ain’t Your Color,” Ripcord also holds a No. 1 all-genre album chart position simultaneously in the U.S., Australia and Canada, something that has never been done before according to a press release.
