Although the promised summer release date of her Saweetie‘s long-awaited debut album, ‘Pretty B*tch Music,’ has come and gone, that hasn’t stopped her growing legion of fans from spinning her previous hits in anticipation of its arrival.
Evidence of this comes courtesy of her enduring, Doja Cat-assisted hit, ‘Best Friend.’ Released in January, the tune clawed its way to a #14 peak just a few months later (becoming her second top 20 hit in the process following 2020’s ‘Tap In’).
As if that personal milestone wasn’t enough to celebrate, the Recording Industry Association of America recently revealed the cut’s etched another for the 28-year-old.
Details inside:
On Thursday (October 21), the RIAA took to press to announce the Dr. Luke-produced bop had met its threshold for 2x Platinum status – meaning it’s sold the equivalence of 2 million copies in the United States alone.
Marking her second-highest certified hit to date, the win comes as the second time of Saweetie’s career she’s earned a multiPlatinum award from the organization. The first was granted to her signature hit, 2019’s ‘My Type,’ which now sits at 3x Platinum.
