Kelly Rowland is sporting quite the golden glow these days.
For, not only is she celebrating her recent engagement, the singer’s single ‘Kisses Down Low’ has been certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
The Mike Will produced cut, which served as the lead release from Rowland’s fourth studio album ‘Talk A Good Game’ earlier this year, was awarded the honor after hitting the 500,000 copies sold mark.
An impressive feat for any song in the current climate, especially one of the R&B persuasion, the certification sees the track become the 2nd-most successful of Rowland’s solo career following – bested only by 2011’s double Platinum smash ‘Motivation‘. {Editor’s note: For those wondering “what about ‘Dilemma’?”, that was Nelly’s song).

Congratulations to Kelly!
Folk are often quick to compare, contrast, and blast, however – as Ms. Rowland relayed recently – she has her own path.
Here’s to greater successes with her new project in 2014!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
wow
Can’t believe this went to number #75 while Body Party by Ciara went top #20 but both sold the exact same. Both are gold, That’s crazy!
work it Kells
Nearly a year later though? Had this been anyone else you would have DRAGGED, Sam. There is nothing cute about this.
about damn time. I’m happy for her.
Yes Kelly!! I’m so happy right now!! Get it Kelly !! Who is the flip now haters my girl got her a gold single!!
And still no platinum album
Kelly LazyLand will settle for anything.
good for kelly! i love all the girls of destiny! 🙂
It was released in march and only reached it now?
when you’re not the lead singer of a group it’s pretty hard to succeed and pretty rare.
so congratulation kelly, you create your own path. you made history.
finally congrats kellz
Mean while body party is 2x platinum step ya game Smelly
@HI
You ppl never seem to amaze me! It doesn’t matter how long something takes the fact that it happend should all that matter!
@MEEEE
Body Party peaked high bcuz of Youtube views!
Anyways… congrats to Kelly! B4 the next album she really needs to map out how she will promote this album outside spending millions to appear on these talk shows! The internet is a very useful tool! Get creative! She also needs to get her fans involved with picking her single choices! She needs to get her fans involved!
Lol where is Body Party 2x platinum? It’s not even platinum. The delusion is real…
Congrats to Kelly. I know I call her lazy a lot, but I like her. 😀
*plays Gone*
@Mother You’re right. it took nearly a whole year to go gold and that song was realeased in February. Ciara released Body party and it went gold in only a few months and Tamar Braxton realeased The One in May and it went Gold in 3 months.
But Kelly Congratulations though.
Nice one Kelly 🙂
When we really check it songs’s like these from Kelly are how her sis Bey opened up. So instead of being a tease like “Got a Big Ego”, she now goes all the way singing about “He popped all my buttons, and he ripped my blouse, he Monica Lewinsky-ed all on my gown”
& ” I can’t wait til, I get home so you can tear this cherry out”
My DC ladies are WOMEN and loving the sexiness..
WELL DONE
Put your name on it is my jam also.
Body party is platinum, it took kisses down low a year to go gold Lmao next
2x platinum where? Body party only went gold will all the payola. Oh wait, she also didn’t sell her album for less than 7.99 just to get ppl to buy and still sold less than what ms, Kelly sold. So get ya facts straight
And do you think Ciara would do that ever again?? No, thank you
Body Party isn’t platinum, let alone 2x platinum lmao. Where did they find these lies?
@iconiccici , @northwest but yet Queen of R&B Kelly slayland is up for a grammy for without me a song she wrote and was ft on while body party is not so ON TO THE NEXT KELLY SLAYLAND = BOSS C-FLOP = FLOP!!!!!!!
Body Party is not Platinum.
At least Kelly got this certification via actual sales instead of relying on streams!
The sad fact is only Tamar,Kelly,Ciara,and Mariah are the only R&B chicks with certification besides Beyonce this year.
So happy for my baby.I feel like crying…….Long live the queen
Can Ciara fans stop hating Kelly Rowland please. Kelly is a very sweet girl and does not deserve all that hatred.
Anyway, slay queen Kelly. Good for you. Also wrote that Fantasia song and it’s nominated for a grammy. Kelly is winning. Love her loads.
@CocoaButta
I agree… Bey’s Drunk in love song is heavily inspired by Kisses Down Low especially with the rap verse in it and the sassy overly sexual lyrics… that’s Kelly all the way honey! She might as well stick to songs like this bcuz tht’s what sells from her; that’s her niche…
SAM GODDESS BEY CD IS IN WALMART TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! I JUST PURCHASED IT!!!!!! #BLAST YONCE
Yes kelly hope you get that grammy fron song writer
Go Kelly!!!!
Kelly did NOT write “Without Me”. The song was already written and recorded until Fantasia decided to add Kelly into the mix. But it’s still a grammy nom nonetheless. 🙂
Congrats Kelly! I hope you will finally hope on the promo train one of these days…
@rosegold Yes she did LOOk it up and if that’s not enough look at the clip of Kelly on the queen Latifah show she congratulated her on being Nominated for writing the song / Thanks NEXT HATER
She co-wrote te song. I bought it and it says so. Missy wrote her verse too.
I keep saying it.. Destiny’s Child is the only group where all the artist are still relevant .. Kelly is on shows, still doing interviews, music , she still in our face …
After groups break up most of them go on to getting babies, settling down witht heir family ..
