From “Havana ooh na na” to “Havana ooh la la,” Camila Cabello‘s breakout #1 hit, ‘Havana,’ got a supercharged, superstar revamp recently thanks to her fellow judges on NBC’s ‘The Voice.’

Showing the reality singing competition’s hopefuls how it’s done, Cabello called on John Legend, Blake Shelton, and Gwen Stefani to add their distinctive styles to the Diamond-certified Latin smash.

“They’re such incredible artists I feel almost embarrassed that they sang my song,” Cabello said in a recent behind the scenes clip showing the quartet’s rehearsal of the tune. “But it was really cool.”

Later referring to the once-in-a-lifetime cover as a “huge honor,” look inside to see all the Cabello-led action that led to the live performance.

At writing, there are only 87 songs in the history of recorded music to boast a Diamond certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

A measure that denotes the sales equivalence of 10 million units in the United States, the once-nearly unreachable status saw an explosion in the number of achievers once the organization began including streaming figures in its tabulation.  Nevertheless, the vied plaque still eludes even some of music’s biggest names as evidenced by the list of hits that currently line the RIAA’s ‘best-selling singles ever’ tally.

And while only a few are lucky enough to nab one Diamond certification over their entire careers, an impressive group can boast having lifted two songs from the same album to reach the sales threshold.

In the wake of Cardi B recently becoming the first female act in history to have two singles from one album certified 11x Platinum or higher (as we reported here), That Grape Juice thought it apt to toast the entire exclusive club of hitmakers she joins by accomplishing the feat.

As of October 10, only three female Rap songs in history owned a Diamond certification at the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for sales of 10 million in the United States – Nicki Minaj‘s ‘Super Bass’ as well as Cardi B‘s Hot 100 #1 hits ‘I Like It’ and ‘Bodak Yellow.’

The former ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ star tied the knot with the sports anchor (who she met on the Steve Harvey Show in 2018) less than two years ago. And much with much of their romantic journey was chronicled during Bailey’s final season on RHOA – including their lavish wedding ceremony.
