Miranda Lambert has quite the reason to celebrate as her sixth studio album earned a Platinum certification. Debuting at No.1 on the Billboard Country Albums chart and No.3 on the No.3 spot on the all genre Billboard Top 200 Chart, The Weight Of These Wings has earned its RIAA certification 33 weeks after its monumental release.

Recently, the project earned the singer her fifth consecutive ACM Album of the Year award.

“I just want to say thank you for letting me use my heartbreak and sharing it with me and thanks to my daddy, Rick Lambert, who’s here tonight for this beautiful title and these amazing people. Eric [Masse], Glenn [Worf] and Frank [Liddell],” said Lambert in her tearful ACM Awards acceptance speech.

The news comes nearly a year after the lead single “Vice,” took over country radio and gave fans a taste of what to expect from the double-record. Currently, the heart-wrenching current single from The Weight of These Wings, “Tin Man,” is at country radio.

Miranda Lambert will spend much of the summer out on the road playing numerous festivals across the nation. Up next for the singer are performances at Country Jam USA (July 21) and Faster Horses Festival (July 22).
