Population of the USA is 301,000,000 compared to 4,100,000 here. If my maths are correct then you have to sell a comparitive number of albums per capita to achieve platinum status. Marginally tougher here in fact.

Far more difficult to get there in the UK when you have to sell 300,000 to 60 million people.
