www.billboard.com/music/chart-beat/gracie-abrams-daughter-from-hell-number-one-billboard-200-1236303074/ Gracie Abrams Earns First No. 1 Album on Billboard 200 With 'Daughter From Hell' Plus, BTS' ARIRANG surges back into the top 10 after new vinyl release. By Keith Caulfield 7/26/2026 Gracie Abrams scores her first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart as her third full-length studio effort, Daughter From Hell, debuts atop the Aug. 1-dated ranking. It starts with 124,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States in the week ending July 23, according to Luminate โ the singer-songwriter's best week ever by units. Abrams previously hit the top 10 with her last album, The Secret of Us, debuting and peaking at No. 2 in July 2024. Abrams is the sixth act to land their first No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in 2026, following Noah Kahan, Ella Langley, Megan Moroney, Don Toliver and Megadeth. In the entirety of 2025, there were five acts that got their first No. 1: Ken Carson, Ghost, Tate McRae, PARTYNEXTDOOR and Sleep Token. Also in the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200, BTS' former leader ARIRANG jumps back into the region (rising 26-9) after the release of a vinyl picture disc edition of the album. The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 2,500 ad-supported or 1,000 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new Aug. 1, 2026-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard's website on July 28. Of Daughter From Hell's 124,000 equivalent album units earned in the tracking week, album sales comprise 77,000 (her best sales week, it debuts at No. 1 on Top Album Sales), SEA units comprise 46,500 (equaling 47.27 million on-demand official streams of the set's songs, it debuts at No. 6 on Top Streaming Albums) and about 500 TEA units. The set was released in its first week across 10 vinyl variants (including a signed edition, and a Target-exclusive variant with a bonus track), four CD variants (including a signed edition, and a Target-exclusive edition with a bonus track), two cassettes and two digital download and streaming editions (including one with two bonus tracks). Daughter From Hell was announced on May 11 and preceded by a pair of charting hits on the Billboard Hot 100: "Hit the Wall" and "Look at My Life." The rest of the top 10 on the latest Billboard 200 are populated by former No. 1s, and the Nos. 2-6 titles are all non-movers as compared to a week ago: Olivia Rodrigo's you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love is No. 2 (86,000 equivalent album units, down 11%); Morgan Wallen's I'm the Problem is No. 3 (75,000, up 2%); Ella Langley's Dandelion is No. 4 (72,000, down 1%); Noah Kahan's The Great Divide is No. 5 (63,000, down 7%); and Drake's ICEMAN is No. 6 (56,000, down 8%). Future's The Real Me falls to No. 7 with 46,000 equivalent album units earned (down 65%) after debuting at No. 1 a week ago. Michael Jackson's Thriller rises 9-8 with 40,000 (down 3%). BTS' ARIRANG climbs 26-9 with 40,000 equivalent album units earned (up 62%), following the release of a new vinyl picture disc variant of the album with two bonus tracks. Also helping the album was promotion surrounding its new single "Normal," and BTS' co-headlining turn during the FIFA World Cup final halftime show on July 19, where the group performed its 2020 No. 1 Hot 100 hit "Dynamite." Closing out the new top 10 is Morgan Wallen's One Thing at a Time, holding steady at No. 10 with 38,000 equivalent album units earned (up 3%).

Spotify: Janet Jackson | Someone To Call My Lover hits 100M streams
This is why I laugh when Lizzo says that Janet is the Queen of Pop. This is eligible for Gold with the RIAA. My friend knows Janet's management team. Janet doesn't want to pay for new RIAA certs and her old labels don't care and don't want to do the research. They need to re-certify Control. That cert dates from 1989!!

www.hotnewhiphop.com/1002586-kanye-west-artist-most-songs-certified-gold-platinum Kanye West Becomes Artist With The Most Songs Certified Gold Or Platinum By Gabriel Bras Nevares July 18, 2026 Ye just earned a whopping 68 fresh certifications from the Recording Industry Association of America, helping him make history. Kanye West is still pushing for the next steps of his career, hosting stadium shows around the world and recently dropping his new album BULLY. But even if Ye chose to hang the cape up for good, the strength of his catalog will continue to resonate and keep him in all-time conversations. Thanks to a fresh batch of a whopping 68 new certifications from the Recording Industry Association of America, he is now the artist with the most gold or platinum-certified songs in history, according to Rap on Instagram. The previous artist to hold this record was reportedly NBA YoungBoy. These include updated certifications for multi-platinum songs and albums, some first-time platinum records, and a few fresh Gold plaques. You can check out the full list caught by Bars on IG below, the highest certification of which is "Heartless" going 14 times platinum. Albums-wise, Graduation is now eight times platinum, The College Dropout is six times platinum, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is five times platinum, 808s & Heartbreak is four times platinum... The list goes on. First-time platinum records include "Spaceship," "Saint Pablo," Jesus Is King, "Dark Fantasy," "Hey Mama," "New Slaves," and "Only One." New gold tracks include "Send It Up," "Say You Will," "Roses," "No Child Left Behind," "Frank's Track," and "Two Words."

This historic achievement is something Kanye West will celebrate on the road by bringing these hits to life internationally. Ye's next show is in Spain on July 30, followed by Portugal on August 7, Kazakhstan on August 14, New Orleans on August 28, and Chicago on September 3 and 4. All these announcements have been pretty sudden and individual for each show. So there could be many more concerts and performances to come. Other MCs got massive RIAA updates this weekend. Amid the success of The Real Me, Future got his own heap of certifications; 53 of them, to be exact. While commercial metrics certainly aren't everything in hip-hop, Ye and other legends already proved their staying power culturally and artistically. So to see their efforts yield big-buck results is more of an inevitability than anything else.

www.musictimes.com/articles/112332/20260718/ye-surpasses-taylor-swift-become-no-2-among-riaa-certified-artists-us.htm Ye Surpasses Taylor Swift to Become No. 2 Among RIAA-Certified Artists in the U.S. By J.Esteen Jul 18 2026 Ye has moved ahead of Taylor Swift in cumulative RIAA-certified units following a major update covering nearly 70 albums and songs from his catalog. The artist formerly known as Kanye West now holds 271 million certified units in the United States, compared with Swift's reported 247.5 million. The updated total places Ye second in the all-time cumulative ranking, behind only Drake. This milestone does not reflect tens of millions of new records sold in recent days. Instead, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) issued a large batch of new and upgraded certifications on July 17, recognizing years of accumulated sales, downloads, and eligible streams. Ye Receives Nearly 70 RIAA Certification Updates The certification sweep included six Ye studio albums, around 60 solo songs, and four collaborations with Jay-Z from Watch the Throne. Key upgrades include: "Heartless" and "Stronger" โ both elevated to 14ร Platinum "Gold Digger" (feat. Jamie Foxx) โ 13ร Platinum "Ni**as in Paris" (with Jay-Z) โ 12ร Platinum Other notable certifications: "Flashing Lights" โ 9ร Platinum "All of the Lights" โ 8ร Platinum "Mercy" โ 8ร Platinum "Can't Tell Me Nothing" โ 7ร Platinum "Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1" โ 7ร Platinum "Runaway" โ 6ร Platinum "Bound 2" โ 6ร Platinum "I Wonder" โ 5ร Platinum Several landmark albums also received upgrades: Graduation (8ร Platinum), The College Dropout (6ร Platinum), My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (5ร Platinum), 808s & Heartbreak (4ร Platinum), Yeezus (3ร Platinum), and Jesus Is King(Platinum). Following the update, Ye reportedly has 137 RIAA-certified songs, according to tallies compiled from the association's database. This highlights the enduring commercial strength of a catalog that now spans more than two decades. Did Ye Really Outsell Taylor Swift? Ye has passed Swift in cumulative RIAA-certified units. However, the comparison requires important context. RIAA certifications combine physical sales, digital downloads, and streaming equivalents. Updates are not issued automatically โ labels submit catalogs for auditing, which can lead to large jumps when older material is reviewed in batches. Therefore, "second-highest RIAA-certified artist" is more accurate than claiming the "second highest-selling artist." Taylor Swift remains the first woman to surpass 100 million RIAA-certified album units. Her dominance in full-album consumption, physical sales, and recent releases continues. Both artists are at different stages of their certification cycles, and future submissions could shift the ranking again. The Ranking Revives Fan Comparisons The new standings have renewed online discussions comparing Ye and Swift, given their well-documented history. Their association dates back to the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, when Ye interrupted Swift's acceptance speech. The tension resurfaced in 2016 with Ye's song "Famous," whose lyrics referenced Swift. The two sides later disagreed about what Swift had been told prior to the song's release. Neither artist has publicly commented on the latest RIAA update in relation to that history. The certification reflects catalog performance rather than any renewed personal dispute. Ultimately, Ye's jump underscores the power of catalog longevity in the streaming era. Songs released more than a decade ago continue to generate enough consumption in the U.S. to reach new multi-Platinum levels when formally audited.

hip-hopvibe.com/news/future-earns-53-new-riaa-certifications-for-life-is-good-mask-off-and-more/ Future earns 53 new RIAA certifications for "Life Is Good," "Mask Off" and more By Yuriy Andriyashchuk July 18, 2026 Future re earns 53 new RIAA certifications for "Life Is Good," & more Future continues to add to one of the most successful catalogs in hip-hop history. The Atlanta rap superstar has earned 53 new certifications from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), highlighting the incredible longevity of his music and the lasting impact of his biggest hits. The latest round of certifications includes several of Future's signature records reaching new multi-platinum milestones. Leading the list is "Life Is Good" featuring Drake, which is now certified 15ร Platinum, making it the highest-certified song released during the 2020s decade. The achievement underscores the song's remarkable staying power more than six years after its release. Future's latest RIAA update also includes massive certifications for fan favorites such as "Mask Off," "Low Life," "WAIT FOR U," "Like That," "Where Ya At," "Stick Talk," and "March Madness." Together, the certifications showcase how Future has remained one of rap's most streamed and commercially successful artists across multiple eras. Among the 53 new certifications, "Life Is Good" stands out as the biggest milestone. Released in January 2020, the collaboration with Drake immediately became one of the year's defining songs. The record debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 before spending months dominating streaming platforms and radio playlists. Its memorable beat switch gave both artists room to showcase different styles, while the music video became an instant viral hit. Now certified 15ร Platinum, the song has sold the equivalent of more than 15 million units in the United States. According to the RIAA, each Platinum certification represents one million certified units, combining traditional sales with streaming equivalents. The certification also gives "Life Is Good" another notable distinction. It is now recognized as the highest-certified song released during the 2020s decade, a remarkable accomplishment considering the enormous number of blockbuster hits that have arrived throughout the decade. Future's catalog is filled with songs that have become streaming staples, and the newest certifications prove listeners continue returning to those records years after their release. One of his biggest solo songs, "Mask Off," has now reached 14ร Platinum. Originally released in 2017, the track became one of Future's signature records thanks to its unforgettable flute-driven production and chart success. Even years later, it remains one of the rapper's most recognizable songs. Another career-defining hit, "Low Life" featuring The Weeknd, climbed to 13ร Platinum. The collaboration introduced a darker, melodic sound that resonated with both hip-hop and R&B audiences. Its longevity has made it one of the standout collaborations in both artists' catalogs. Future also reached another milestone with "WAIT FOR U," featuring Drake and Tems. The Grammy-winning single is now 11ร Platinum, adding another achievement to one of the biggest songs of the decade. The record previously became Tems' first Diamond-certified song and remains one of Future's biggest streaming successes. One of the more recent entries among the updated certifications is "Like That," the blockbuster collaboration with Metro Boomin and Kendrick Lamar. The song has now been certified 7ร Platinum, reflecting its enormous commercial performance following its release. "Like That" quickly became one of the defining rap songs of 2024. It debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, sparked widespread discussion throughout the music industry, and became one of the year's biggest streaming records. The certification shows that the momentum surrounding the song has continued long after its chart-topping debut. Beyond the blockbuster singles, several songs beloved by longtime Future fans also received impressive certification updates. Among them are: "Where Ya At" featuring Drake โ 6ร Platinum "Stick Talk" โ 6ร Platinum "March Madness" โ 6ร Platinum advertisement While none of these songs were originally promoted as heavily as Future's biggest crossover hits, each has become an essential part of his catalog. "March Madness," in particular, has developed a legendary reputation among hip-hop fans. Despite never becoming a traditional pop radio smash, it remains one of the most celebrated songs in Future's discography and is frequently mentioned among the greatest trap records ever released. Likewise, "Stick Talk" has become a staple of Future's live performances and continues attracting millions of streams every year. The continued growth of these songs highlights how streaming has extended the life of classic albums, allowing fan favorites to reach commercial milestones years after their original release. Few artists have adapted to the streaming era as successfully as Future. Since the mid-2010s, his music has consistently ranked among the most streamed in hip-hop. Rather than relying solely on current hits, Future benefits from an extensive catalog that listeners revisit regularly. Songs released nearly a decade ago continue adding millions of streams every month, helping them steadily climb toward new certification levels. The RIAA's certification system reflects this shift in music consumption. Instead of relying only on physical or digital sales, certifications now include on-demand audio and video streams, allowing songs with enduring popularity to continue earning new awards long after their initial release. Future's newest certifications are a perfect example of that trend. The certification news comes during another standout year for the Atlanta superstar. Earlier this week, Future earned his 12th No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 with The Real Me, once again demonstrating his ability to dominate the charts years into his career. The project expanded an already remarkable run that has seen Future consistently deliver chart-topping albums while maintaining one of the strongest streaming catalogs in rap. His ability to balance new releases with a timeless back catalog has become one of the defining characteristics of his career. While many artists experience declining streams as newer generations emerge, Future's music continues finding new audiences while longtime fans keep his classic records in heavy rotation. Future's latest 53 RIAA certifications serve as another reminder of just how influential his catalog has become. From early mixtape favorites to chart-topping collaborations and solo anthems, his music has remained relevant across multiple generations of rap fans. The newest milestones also demonstrate the strength of his partnerships with artists like Drake, The Weeknd, Kendrick Lamar, Metro Boomin, and Tems. Those collaborations have produced some of the biggest songs in modern hip-hop while also complementing Future's extensive collection of solo classics. As streaming continues to reshape the music industry, Future's catalog appears positioned to keep climbing. Songs like "Mask Off," "Low Life," "March Madness," and "Life Is Good" continue generating millions of plays every month, suggesting additional certification milestones are likely still ahead. With 53 new RIAA certifications, a 15ร Platinum record that now stands as the highest-certified song released during the 2020s, multiple Diamond-level hits, and another No. 1 album already under his belt this year, Future continues to reinforce his place among the most commercially successful and influential artists of his generation. His latest achievements are more than just impressive numbersโthey reflect a catalog that has become a permanent fixture in hip-hop and one that continues to resonate with listeners around the world.

https://inmusicblog.com/rap/kanye-west-riaa-certification-record-137-certified-songs/ Kanye West Breaks RIAA Certification Record After Massive Catalog Update Kanye West becomes the artist with the most RIAA-certified songs ever after a major catalog update featuring "Heartless," "Stronger" and more. by InMusic July 17, 2026 Kanye West has added another historic achievement to his rรฉsumรฉ. Following a massive update from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), the rapper and producer has officially become the artist with the most RIAA Gold and Platinum-certified songs of all time, reaching 137 certified hits. The milestone pushes Ye past NBA YoungBoy, while also strengthening his position among the most commercially successful artists in RIAA history. With 271 million certified units, he now ranks as the second most RIAA-certified artist overall, trailing only Drake, who leads with 333 million. Several of Ye's biggest singles received significant certification upgrades during the latest RIAA sweep. "Heartless" climbed to 14ร Platinum, matching "Stronger," which also reached 14ร Platinum. Released in 2008 as part of 808s & Heartbreak, "Heartless" became one of Ye's defining hits, peaking at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and helping reshape modern melodic hip-hop. "Stronger," built around a memorable Daft Punk sample, topped the Hot 100 in 2007 and remains one of the biggest songs of his career. Among the other standout certifications, "Gold Digger" featuring Jamie Foxx advanced to 13ร Platinum. The 2005 smash spent 10 consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and served as the lead single from Late Registration, becoming one of the defining rap singles of the 2000s. Meanwhile, "N****s in Paris," Kanye West's blockbuster collaboration with JAY-Z from the 2011 joint album Watch the Throne, earned 12ร Platinum status. The catalog-wide update also included numerous additional certifications across Ye's discography, reflecting the continued longevity of songs spanning nearly two decades. The new certifications arrive during a busy period for Kanye West. Earlier this month, he announced a New Orleans concert on August 28, adding to his previously confirmed September 3 and 4 stadium performances at Chicago's Soldier Field. Those shows follow the release of BULLY, which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 with 152,000 equivalent album units, while placing 16 of its 18 tracks on the Billboard Hot 100.
