The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has even more good news for SZA‘s 2020 hit, ‘Good Days.’
Just four months after learning the Los Hendrix-produced cut had met the organization’s threshold for Platinum status, meaning it sold the equivalence of 1 million copies in the United States alone, the GRAMMY nominee’s been alerted ‘Days’ has already dashed to a certification upgrade.

In celebration of her Ecuadorian roots, Pop diva Christina Aguilera unleashed “La Fuerza” – her first Spanish project in more than two decades.
Released January 21, the six-song effort also came as the first solo EP of her career and soared to chart battle on the wings of singles “Pa’ Mis Muchachas” (featuring Becky G, Nicki Nicole, and Nathy Peluso), “Somos Nada,” and “Santo” (featuring Ozuna).
When not fielding critical acclaim from some of the industry’s top tastemakers, the opus was garnering praise from the diva’s dedicated fans (affectionately called #Fighters) whose fight to get her atop global sales tallies proved victorious (as we reported here).
Halfway through the set’s initial sales tracking week, industry analysts have revealed if her supporters can expect to see that triumph reflected on the Stateside album chart: the Billboard 200.
Just days after word first began circulating Nicki Minaj was cooking up a comeback single with Lil Baby, the rapstress took to Instagram to surprise her 172 million followers with news the rumors were true.

Katy Perry and Alesso turned heads with the early January release of their futuristic, Hannah Lux Davis-directed music video, ‘When I’m Gone.’
Sending the song to the top of global sales tallies as a result, ‘Gone’ has gone on to impact the top 40 of a number of charts around the world in the time since. Because it’s been a miss on the Hot 100 as of time reported, however, the diva & DJ duo are going into deeper promo mode for the high octane cut – which has already been given the live treatment via Perry’s ‘PLAY’ Vegas residency.
Their latest bid to increase awareness of the tune comes in the form of a behind the scenes video that invites the singer’s fans, affectionately called #KatyCats, to see the action from both sides of the camera. Look inside to see how all the magic came to be.
There haven’t been four weeks in 2022 yet, but DaBaby has already released four music videos.
Hitting the top of the year running, the embattled Rap star kicked things off to mixed reviews with the release of the R&B-leaning cut, ‘Sneaky Link Anthem.‘ Over the two weeks that followed, he succeeded that tune’s release with the more favorably received ‘Couple Cubes of Ice’ and ‘Book It’ (as we reported here).
As all three songs have failed to make sizable impact on the charts (as of time reported), the GRAMMY nominee has brought in reinforcement to hopefully change the tide.
Teaming with his former ‘Jump’ co-star NBA Youngboy, look inside to see the duo in action aboard the Gemini Vision-directed ‘Hit’ music video.
