OK Computer has been certified gold in the United States this week, for half a million copies, a little under four months after Capitol released it there on 1 July. Christina Cramer, reporting it for Rolling Stone, calls it the most commercially successful release of Radiohead's career.

She puts much of the sale down to “Karma Police”, whose video is in its fifth week as an MTV Buzz Clip, the rotation the animated “Paranoid Android”) was given in June.
