These days, songs go platinum or even diamond all the time. The RIAA’s diamond certification used to be reserved for albums that sold at least 10 million copies, a number that only a massive monocultural blockbuster could achieve. In the streaming era, though, songs can rack up those certifications without selling a single copy, as long as they’re streamed many millions of times. Post Malone just saw 3 of his tracks cross that 10-million-sales mark, surpassing Bruno Mars’ previous record to become the artist with the most RIAA Diamond-certified singles EVER.
Bruno Mars’ six songs were in the lead, while Post Malone was stuck in second place, tied with Drake and The Weeknd with five diamond singles apiece. Posty got the official word of the diamond certification for three different songs; 2017’s “I Fall Apart,” 2018’s “Better Now,” and 2019’s “Circles” yesterday though, surpassing Bruno’s mark. Posty also holds the record for the single with the most certifications; “Sunflower,” his 2018 collaboration with Rae Sremmurd’s Swae Lee, has gone platinum 17 TIMES OVER.
To celebrate his big record-breaking moment, Post released a new compilation called The Diamond Collection. It includes all eight of his diamond songs, as well as “Chemical,” his newly single. Check out the track list below.
