NEW YORK, Nov. 10-- John Mayer's third studio album, “Continuum”, which was released on September 12, 2006 by Aware/Columbia Records, has been certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America for sales exceeding one million copies.

The accomplishment marks Mayer's third album to earn and/or surpass the platinum achievement. His debut album, “Room For Squares” is four times platinum, with sales exceeding four million, and his sophomore album, “Heavier Things”, has sold over two million albums, earning the singer/songwriter two platinum plaques.

On November 15th, the Grammy-winning singer/songwriter will make his first live performance on The Oprah Winfrey Show and also plans a performance on the American Music Awards.

Mayer's AMA performance that night of "Belief," (the second single from “Continuum”) will feature both fans and familiar faces who have responded to Mayer's "What Do You Believe?" query posted on his website. Submissions of photos and a "belief" statement (in ten words or less) are being accepted through Mayer's website until November 13th. Selected entries will be featured during his AMA performance.

On the heels of an international tour, Mayer recently announced the Continuum Winter Tour which begins January 27th at the Veteran's Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, FL and concludes on February 22 at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Continuum is a pop/rock album showcasing Mayer's influences, rich lyrics, the groove of the guitar-slinging bluesman, and the soulful vocals. “Continuum” earned four stars from Rolling Stone Magazine. USA Today wrote, Mayer's "smartly crafted third album combines singer/songwriter pop and sinewy guitar blues." And the New York Times weighed in, "Mayer has been writing songs again, good ones, with all the leanness and directness that distinguish his strongest work."
