SANTA MONICA, Calif., July 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- "Clarity" ft. Foxes, the chart topping single from German wunderkind Zedd, has been certified platinum in the U.S. by the R.I.A.A., selling over 1.2 million singles. The breakout title track from Zedd's debut album also hit #1 on Billboard's Top Dance Singles chart and climbed to #4 at Top 40 where it continues to build momentum.

Says Zedd, "The success "Clarity" is having is surreal. It's exponentially surpassed all my expectations and taken on a life of its own outside of what I thought was possible."

"Clarity," after gaining exposure as iTunes Single Of The Week in October 2012, is swiftly becoming the song of the summer, cracking the Top 10 at iTunes and entering in at #9 on VEVO's first ever Top Ten List- racking up over 20 million views.
