Clarity earns RIAA 7x Platinum for Zedd, recognizing 7,000,000 units on October 31, 2025.
Zedd's seminal electronic dance track "Clarity" has officially reached 7x Platinum status, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) announced on October 31, 2025. The certification recognizes 7,000,000 certified units in the United States. The single was released under the Interscope / Geffen / A&M label group and is categorized in the Dance/Electronic genre.
Born Anton Zaslavski, Zedd is a Russian-German DJ and producer who rose to prominence in the early 2010s. "Clarity," featuring vocals from British singer Foxes, was released on October 9, 2012, as the title track from his debut studio album. The song's lyrical theme, as described by Genius, centers on two lovers who knowingly enter a relationship that is doomed to fail. The earliest commercial release of the single occurred in Canada.
Upon its release, "Clarity" became a critical and commercial success, solidifying Zedd's position as a leading artist in the electronic music scene. The track's most significant accolade came at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards, where it won for Best Dance Recording. The song's enduring appeal is evident in its online engagement, which includes approximately 1,242,967 pageviews on Genius. An acoustic version of the track was later included on Foxes' debut album, Glorious.
