Columbia troubadour Hozier celebrates the diamond certification of his breakout single, "Take Me to Church," by posing for a festive photo op with his longtime team. "Church" is only the 103rd song to hit this milestone, and the Irish artist reached it just before his birthday, which happens to be, we shit you not, St. Patrick's Day. Later, Jim Burruss' repeated attempts to make a black & tan resulted in his needing to take a personal day. Seen getting their Irish up to a greater or lesser degree are (l-r) Kim Harris, Lisa Sonkin, Columbia Records President Jenifer Mallory, CMG President Richard Story, Pete Cosenza, Hozier, Burruss, Greg Linn, Betsy Whitney, manager Caroline Downey, Max Kaplan, Mary Madden and John Doelp.
