TeeRoy's 2 Cents:
- Even if history winds up looking at him as a one-hit wonder, he's maybe the most successful one-hit wonder of all time!
- The label should get these guys some actual diamonds to celebrate.
- It's also a win for artists like Nine Inch Nails, who are sampled on the track.
- They're gonna ride the momentum of this song until they can't no more.
Congrats go out to Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus.
The chart-topping "Old Town Road" has officially reached Diamond status according to the RIAA. That means it has been streamed and sold to the tune of 10 million units. It’s the fastest song in history to reach this milestone.
Lil Nas X retweeted fans praising his latest accolade. He pulled up an old tweet where he joked he would send all of his followers a copy ofPhineas and Ferbseason 3 on Blu-ray when the song goes Diamond. He updated the gag by posting a meme of Squidward fromSpongebobsneaking out of a door holding an RIAA Diamond certification, suggesting that he doesn't intend to live up to his word.
