At the top of October international superstar Ed Sheeran welcomed a slew of certification upgrades from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) including a 16x Platinum plaque for his 2014 megahit ‘Thinking Out Loud.’

The award toasts sales equivalence of 16 million in the United States.

Making it the highest-certified hit in the 71-year history of the RIAA at the time, the ascent to 16x Platinum saw it snatch the honor from the previous titleholder – Drake‘s 2018 ‘Scorpion’ hit ‘God’s Plan’ – by just 1 million units.

Just weeks later, however, the Canadian hitmaker welcomed his own slew of certification upgrades including an update to ‘Plan’ that put him squarely beside Sheeran.

While enjoying the seemingly unstoppable run of her hit comeback single, ‘Flowers,’ earlier this year, Miley Cyrus learned her biggest-selling single to date – 2009’s ‘Party in the USA‘ – had been upgraded to 12x Platinum (a measure denoting sales equivalence of 12 million in the USA) by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

At the time, the feat put her in a three-way tie with Katy Perry‘s ‘Firework‘ and Mariah Carey‘s ‘All I Want for Christmas‘ for 1st place among female-led songs.

The trio held the title for a mere 7 months before singer-songwriter Lorde snatched the crown with her 2013 hit, ‘Royals,’ which was certified 13x Platinum on September 29.

Fans of the New Zealand-reared could barely enjoy the win, however, before Miley’s ‘Party’ crashed the party with yet another certification update – less than two weeks later.

Unequivocally, the Hot 100 run of Morgan Wallen‘s ‘Last Night‘ is nothing short of astounding.

The inaugural #1 hit on Pop charts for the music superstar, the Joey Moi-produced tune – found aboard Wallen’s blockbuster tertiary release ‘One Thing at a Time‘ – already made history when it became the first Country song by a solo male act to top the hitlist since 1981.

This week, thanks to a whopping 16th print in the tally’s summit position, it’s been penciled in Billboard books for becoming the overall longest-running solo #1 hit of all time.
