Post Malone & Swae Lee’s “Sunflower” Makes RIAA History

Post Malone and Swae Lee’s “Sunflower” has earned a double-diamond certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), making it the best-selling song of all time.

2018’s “Sunflower” became the first track in RIAA history to earn a 20x-platinum plaque. The collaboration lives on Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (Soundtrack from & Inspired by the Motion Picture).

“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 stated. “‘Sunflower’ 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.” 

Post Malone and Swae Lee’s “Sunflower” peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song earned Record Of The Year and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance nominations at the 2020 Grammy Awards.

“Congratulations Post, Swae Lee and Mercury/Republic Records for making history with the very first 2x-diamond single!” Glazier concluded.

Post Malone released his fifth studio LP, Austin, in July 2023. The Republic Records signee will be part of the pregame festivities for Super Bowl LVIII on Sunday (February 11). The NFL recruited Malone to perform “America the Beautiful” before the game.
