As if Jazmine Sullivan picking up her highest Hot 100 charting single since 2010’s ‘Holding You Down’ wasn’t enough to brag about (as we reported here), the 34-year-old’s picked up a career first thanks to the enduring R&B hit from her latest body of work, ‘Heaux Tales.’
Exciting news from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) inside.
On May 3, the RIAA updated its logs to reveal Sullivan’s ‘Pick Up Your Feelings’ – the second single from her comeback project ‘Heaux Tales’ – had crossed its threshold for Gold certification. This means it has sold the equivalent of 500,000 copies in the United States alone.
Despite Jazmine being a longtime celebrated singer-songwriter who has been nominated for 12 GRAMMYs over the last 12 years, fans would be surprised to know ‘Feelings’ comes as her first Gold-certified single.
As of time reported, her only other certified work is her 2008 debut album ‘Fearless’ (which attained Gold status in 2015).
First gold single of her CAREER wow!!! Congrats but Jaz is criminally underrated!
Flop
I can’t stand her ashy cigarette voice and one billion runs on every verse. She’s no Summer Walker I tell u that…..
Summer Walker isn’t better than Jazmine Sullivan……… you really don’t know true r&b and this is coming from a Summer Walker fan.
First?!? Are you joking?
This is a crime! Hopefully many many more to come
TRUE CRIME! And 12 nominations no wins is preposterous too! 🤬
The damn music industry needs their ass kicked every day around 3 PM until they start realizing what real music, good music sounds like. Congratulations Miss Sullivan. This is long overdue and you truly have more diamond worthy songs than most artist that have ever released an album.
Jazmine is so underrated. Super excited for her. I believe her latest project is independent…good stuff!
No, it is not. She’s still at label.
You comparing rich vocals to a b**** who needs melodyne and sounds like she’s singing a f****** lullaby on every song? B**** SHUT THE ENTIRE F*** UP BEFORE I BEAT YOUR ASS.
I’ll help you beat their ass.
IKTMFR!!!! I’m so proud of Jazmine, she’s starting to make an amazing comeback.
