Posted September 13, 200618 yr IFPI awards platinum sellers Keane's second album Under The Iron Sea has picked up its first Platinum Europe Award from the IFPI for having surpassed the 1m sales mark. Other acts to have picked up IFPI sales awards this quarter include Shakira with Fijacion Oral Vol 1 and Oral Fixation Vol 2 which have both crossed the million threshold. Both albums were released in 2005.
