Last year saw the 10-year anniversary since the release of The Heist. The RIAA organization officially certified ‘Can’t Hold Us’DIAMOND and honored Macklemore & Ryan Lewis as one of the most successful duos of the last 65 years of RIAA Gold & Platinum history. Diamond certifications make up less than 1% of RIAA’s Gold & Platinum program. These are awarded for 10 million sales and streaming equivalents earned in the United States alone with only 19 acts having more than one Diamond single in RIAA history. ‘Can’t Hold Us,’ ft. Ray Dalton marks their second Diamond Single Award (following 2015’s ‘Thrift Shop’ ft Wanz) from the same album, an incredibly rare accomplishment.
This past year, Macklemore released ‘CHANT’ Ft Tones and I, ‘MANIAC’ Ft Windser, and ‘FAITHFUL’ ft. NLE Choppa - each from his larger body of work titled BEN which will see its global release on March 3, 2023. Pre-order/add/save HERE.
