Elton John just scored some shiny new plaques for his holiday track Step Into Christmas. The song hit platinum status in the United States, with the UK version racking up a quadruple platinum certification. The musician, age 78, posted a photo with the awards, calling it a special Christmas present to himself.
He mentioned it feels very special that a song he dropped over five decades ago still makes the holiday playlists for so many people. The tune even cracked the UK Singles Chart Top 10 this season, landing in the ninth spot right behind a Kelly Clarkson track. John made sure to thank his fans for listening to the festive number every single year.
This comes after some online chatter about a recent video he filmed in his kitchen. Fans had criticized the appearance of his oven, suggesting it was not clean. John later responded directly to those comments, stating firmly that he does not keep a dirty house and is not a dirty person.
