The Weeknd has been awarded two more RIAA diamond certifications for his songs ‘Save Your Tears’ and ‘Die for You’
The Grammy winner’s hit singles “Save Your Tears” and “Die for You” have been awarded diamond certification by the Recording Industry Association of America, making him the first Canadian artist to earn seven diamond tracks. The Weeknd is one of three artists to have produced seven diamond singles throughout his career alongside Rihanna and Post Malone, the latter of whom holds the record for the most diamond certified singles with nine.
To achieve diamond certification, the RIAA must recognize the song or album as having shifted 10 million units of combined streams and sales. The two awarded hits include his 2016 single “Die for You” from his Grammy-winning album Starboy and “Save Your Tears,” which was released in 2020 as a single from the pop star’s fourth studio album, After Hours.
In the year following the release of After Hours, The Weeknd’s success was recognized nationally as he took fans through his decorated discography while headlining the Super Bowl LV Halftime Show, the first Canadian to do so. Along with his two new diamond certifications, the musician, 34, has been awarded an additional two platinum certifications for his 2023 singles “Popular” and “One of the Girls” , both of which are a part of the soundtrack to HBO’s drama series The Idol.The new platinum certification for “One of the Girls” makes Blackpink’s Jennie the first K-pop solo artist to reach the milestone and marks the first platinum single for Depp.
The Weeknd’s impressive repertoire doesn’t stop there. As of June, his track “Blinding Lights” is the most streamed song of all time on Spotify with over 4 billion streams. He also holds the title of most monthly listeners on the streaming platform, with over 100 million each month.
