Who knew John Legend’s 2013 hit ‘All of Me’ would live up to the title of its parent album (‘Love in the Future’) so well? Still receiving major streaming and digital download love nearly 9 years after it unexpectedly became the biggest hit of his career, now it’s just measures away from becoming the biggest hit of all time!
Being the wedding song of the century has its perks. See what we mean:
On March 22, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) took to press to announce a slew of new Legend certifications including updates attached to fan favorites ‘Green Light,’ ‘Save Room,’ ‘Tonight,’ ‘All of Me,’ and more.
Related to the penultimate, it now sits at 14x Platinum – an achievement that signifies Stateside sales of 14 million in the United States alone.
With the update, ‘All’ enters a four-way tie for the title of “second highest-certified song in RIAA history” alongside Imagine Dragons‘ ‘Radioactive,’ Gotye’s ‘Somebody I Used to Know,’ and Chainsmokers’ ‘Closer.’ The only single to have higher certified sales than ‘All of Me’ is Lil Nas X’s gargantuan 2019 smash, ‘Old Town Road’ (which sits at 16 million sold as of time reported).

When you think that it was supposed to be a collaboration with Leona Lewis… too bad. Anyway, I never liked that song but this is good news for him.
Everyone else did clearly
