At the height of its popularity, Post Malone and Swae Lee‘s ‘Sunflower’ (found aboard the soundtrack of 2018’s animated film ‘Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse’) not only topped the Hot 100 but entered history books for becoming one of the longest-running top 10 hits of all time.

Racking up a whopping 33 weeks in the chart territory (a record for a soundtrack single), the only duet to have enjoyed a longer stay there overall was The Kid Laroi and Justin Bieber‘s 2021 smash ‘Stay‘ (which lasted 47 weeks).

The Malone and Lee song’s impressive commercial performance was also evidenced by its 11x Platinum certification at the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for sales of 11 million in the United States by November 2020.

Two years later, the enduring success of ‘Sunflower’ sees it planted in the record books of the RIAA as well. Look inside to see how.
