Justice’s ‘Hyperdrama’ Earns International Certified Platinum Status

Justice

Justice’s Hyperdrama has been certified as an international platinum album by France’s National Syndicate of Phonographic Publishing (SNEP).

The French record industry’s governing body yesterday announced several international certifications for domestically produced records that reached high sales benchmarks in markets outside of the country, including honors for the legendary French electro-disco duo’s fourth studio LP and two of its singles.

After an eight-year wait, Justice’s first full-length album since 2016’s Woman arrived on the band’s longtime label, Ed Banger Records, in partnership with fellow French label Because Music, in April 2024. Thirteen months later, Hyperdrama has now reached SNEP’s international platinum album certification benchmark with more than 100,000 equivalent units sold beyond French borders.

The album’s lynchpin singles with Tame Impala frontman Kevin Parker were also certified by SNEP, including an international diamond certification for “Neverender,” which has now sold over 50 million equivalent copies outside of France, and an international platinum certification for “One Night/All Night,” with more than 30 million copies sold internationally.

Fellow Ed Banger artist Myd was also recognized by SNEP with an international gold certification for his 2021 single, “Born a loser.”

“Thank you to the best team @becausemusic for the hard work and trust since day one,” Ed Banger boss Busy P wrote of the achievement on Instagram today. He also extended thanks to Etendard Management, JET Management, and Savor Faire “for looking after the most exciting artists in the game.”

Earlier this year, Hyperdrama was nominated for Best Dance/Electronic Album at the 2025 Grammys, while “Neverender” took home the Grammy for Best Dance/Electronic Recording.

Following members Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay’s headline debut at Colorado’s Red Rocks last weekend, Justice’s comeback tour continues this summer with standalone dates in Toronto, Boston, and Pittsburgh, as well as festival appearances at Bonnaroo and Electric Forest, before they head back to Europe later in the year.
