Not even six months after Chris Brown made headlines for dethroning King of Rock N’ Roll Elvis Presley as the Hot 100’s most decorated male singer, the R&B bad boy has snatched the Gold from the music monarch’s RIAA crown as well.
Details inside.
On Thursday (January 5), the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) took to press to announce Chris had scored his 56th Gold single with the hit song ‘Call Me Every Day.’
Found aboard his tenth solo studio album, the 2022-released ‘Breezy,’ ‘Call’ is one of three singles lifted from the LP and followed its well-received cuts ‘Warm Embrace (WE)’ and ‘Iffy.’ At writing, however, the Wizkid-assisted bop is the only song from the set to boast any certification.
Its new status at the RIAA pushes Brown’s cumulative single sales to 92.5 million in the United States, thereby extending his position as one of the best-selling artists in digital music history.
The plaque awarded to ‘Call’ also extends Brown’s record of being the male vocalist with the most Gold-certified singles from the RIAA. Upon collecting his 55th award of such stature in October 2022 with the sleeper hit single, ‘Under the Influence,’ the R&B crooner surpassed the previous titleholder Elvis Presley (who currently has 54 Gold records).
Among all male acts, only NBA YoungBoy (93), Kanye West (88), Drake (74), Eminem (72), and Future (68) boast ownership of more Gold records.

You’re here where you should be
Snow is falling as the carolers sing
It just wasn’t the same
Alone on Christmas day
Presents, what a beautiful sight
Don’t mean a thing if you ain’t holding me tight
You’re all that I need
Underneath the tree
Yet he hasn’t had a #1 BB HOT100 hit since 2007 what gives 🤔
This.
Who gives AF. Yall are so tacky always TRYING to downplay others success. Chris continues to break records, is PAID AF, and is minding his business while yall keyboard warriors watch and are enamored with other people’s lives daily…wishing it was you. Some folks are real trash. Don’t be trash.
Nothin but facts
Look at those stats rappers are taking over
It will take him 100 years to snatch the titte for most RIAA certified GOLD albums as Presley has 101 to Brown’s 11….
I have never heard of Chris Brown and didnt know he was a singer. But obviously im behind the times
These digital stats mean nothing.Elvis did it the hard meaningful way.You had to go to the record shop to buy a single not click a button.These days they release a single a week.The king still rules.
Chris Brown is.the BEST right now in the music industry, there’s no stopping you this is your time.continue writing you music and keep on doing your great dance moves . Once you hit rock bottom there’s no way way out but upppp. It’s not how you fall it’s how you RISE when you fall stay bless.
