Platinum is when a CD sells more than 1 millions copies, so double platinum would mean 2 million. Triple platinum, 3 million, and so on...
When a CD goes gold, it's sold 500,000 copies.

It sells one million copies. When a CD goes Gold, that means was sold 500,000 times. After platinum, CD's can go multi-platinum, and once they sell 10 million units, they are certified diamond. All of these rules and created by the RIAA, or the Recording Industry Association of America. This is only for albums. Singles have a different way of being categorized. Normal singles have the same number of units to be called gold (500,000), platinum (one million) or diamond (10 million). Digital singles, or singles sold off of iTunes or Rhapsody have the same names, but different amount of units sold. Gold (100,000 downloaded), platinum (200,000 downloaded), and multi-platinum (400,000 downloaded.)

Currently, the normal RIAA certifications for albums and cd's are:
RIAA Certification of 500,000 units: Gold album.
RIAA Certification of 1,000,000 units: Platinum album.
RIAA Certification of 10,000,000 units: Diamond album.
Therefore a double platinum album would have sold over 2,000,000 copies.
