Longtime Ciara fans may think her history with Britney Spears is only limited to the Pop icon’s 2009 ‘Circus Tour’ (where Cici served as the opening act), but the new mom-of-three (click here to read more) recently revealed they go back even further.

As we reported here, the 34-year-old is the host of Apple Music’s new ‘Level Up Radio’ – a series designed to examine R&B’s cultural impact and evolution.  When reflecting on her early experiences in the industry, she reported her breakthrough hit, 2004’s ‘Goodies,’ was almost a chart win for her ‘Baby One More Time’-singing label mate.

As Ciara herself proclaimed, her hit, ‘Level Up,’ has proven itself ‘yummy’ indeed as consumption of the tune via streaming and digital downloads has given it just the boost needed to get to the RIAA’s Platinum level.

Released July 17, 2018, the song – lifted as the official lead single from her 7th studio album, ‘Beauty Marks’ – went on to make its mark on the Billboard Hot 100 by peaking at #59 (her highest placement since 2015’s ‘I Bet’).  Now, just two months after the announcement of its Gold certification by the Recording Industry Association of America, Cici can make room for yet another Platinum plaque on her wall.
