Chris Brown earns major accolades amid legal troubles
The artist earns 21 RIAA certifications amid legal troubles and prepares for Breezy Bowl XX tour
Chris Brown has added 21 new RIAA certifications to his name, marking a significant milestone two decades after achieving his first Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit.
On 6 June, the artist received multi-platinum plaques for several singles, including Loyal and Forever (8x platinum), Kiss Kiss and Go Crazy (6x platinum), and New Flame and Deuces (4x platinum).
Other certified tracks include Back to Sleep, Don’t Wake Me Up, and Grass Ain’t Greener.
The latest accolades follow his third diamond plaque for Look at Me Now featuring Lil Wayne and Busta Rhymes, awarded on his 36th birthday in May.
Brown is also preparing for his Breezy Bowl XX stadium tour, beginning in Amsterdam on 9 June, with U.S. dates starting on 30 July in Miami.
His tour plans were nearly derailed after a May arrest in the UK over a 2023 nightclub incident. He was later released on a $6.7 million bail package.
What is RIAA certification?
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) awards platinum certification to singles that sell 1 million units in the United States and diamond certification to those that reach 10 million units.
