Post Malone and Swae Lee's "Sunflower" Achieves Historic Double-Diamond Certification

Post Malone and Swae Lee’s hit song “Sunflower (Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse)” has made history by becoming the first-ever single to achieve “Double-Diamond” certification by the RIAA. The track has amassed 20x Platinum certifications and holds the most certifications ever. This accomplishment adds to Post Malone’s impressive streak, as he recently earned the title of having the most RIAA Diamond Certified Singles for any artist.

Ahead of Super Bowl LVIII, Post Malone is set to perform “America the Beautiful” during the pre-game festivities on February 11th. This performance comes after the release of his fifth studio album, “AUSTIN,” which debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200 chart.

Post Malone and Swae Lee have officially raised the bar on what creative partnerships and infectious collaborations have the power to accomplish,” RIAA Chairman & CEO Mitch Glazier said. “‘Sunflower (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse)’ has now been streamed or downloaded more than 20 million times in the U.S. alone, and they’ve earned the custom hardware to prove it. Congratulations Post, Swae Lee and Mercury/Republic Records for making history with the very first 2x Diamond single!”

Post Malone now boasts eight RIAA Diamond-certified records, including hits like “White Iverson,” “Congratulations (feat. Quavo),” “I Fall Apart,” “rockstar (feat. 21 Savage),” “Psycho (feat. Ty Dolla $ign),” “Better Now,” and “Circles.”

Law enforcement tells TMZ that cops were called to the scene and told by Slim Jxmmi’s girlfriend-mother of his child that the enraged recording artist kicked down a room door and pulled a hair extension from her scrap while she attempted to move their child to a nearby playpen following an argument over a woman Slim Jxmmi followed on Twitter. The report further alleges that Jxmmi ripped the phone from the girlfriend’s hand and threw it over the balcony to prevent her from posting on social media while she attempted to record the outraged artist. Jxmmi’s girlfriend also told Police that the artist smelled like alcohol during the altercation following a brief exit with a friend during the argument.

Law enforcement retrieved an undamaged cell phone on a nearby street. No word on Slim Jxmmi’s release arrangement at press time. Prior to the arrest, Slim Jxmmi was last seen, publicly, sharing the stage with brother Swae Lee as Rae Sremmurd, performing a set at last year’s Rolling Loud LA.
