00:00Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion's WAP hits diamond eligibility?
00:04On Monday, hip-hop fans and music industry watchers found themselves caught in a whirlwind of speculation.
00:10Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion's explosive 2020 single WAP had reportedly crossed the threshold for diamond certification in the United States.
00:19For fans, this was a full-circle moment.
00:22WAP has now sold over 10 million units in the U.S.
00:25In the U.S., the RIAA oversees music certifications, gold for 500,000 units, platinum for 1 million, and diamond for 10 million.
00:35As of the last confirmed update in 2021, WAP had earned 5 times platinum, marking 5 million certified units.
00:43Diamond eligible means a track has reached 10 million units in sales or streams, but hasn't been officially certified because the label hasn't finalized the RIAA process.
00:52So far, there's been no confirmation from the RIAA Atlantic Records or the artists on WAP's diamond certification.
01:00Megan released Whenever and Lover Girl, highlighting her evolving sound and lyrical growth.
01:06Meanwhile, Cardi B dropped her long-awaited sophomore album, Am I the Drama, which debuted with massive streams and strong critical attention.
01:14Diamond isn't just about numbers. It represents lasting impact.
01:17For Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion, it would mark a breakthrough for female collaboration in the genre.
01:23If WAP reaches diamond status, it will define the 2020s for both its success and cultural significance.
01:30Eligible means a track has met the required sales and streaming numbers, while certified means the RIAA has officially verified them.
01:37For fans, it's validation, proof that the music they love has reached a rare level of success.
01:42Even without official certification, WAP reaching this milestone is an achievement in itself.
01:49The RIAA database updates often, so any change to WAP's certification will appear there first.
01:54Regardless, the song has already achieved lasting success and major influence.
01:58Whether the plaque arrives tomorrow or next year, the song has already secured rare success, major influence,
02:05and a lasting place among modern music's greatest collaborations.
02:08What the five-month music and major меч makeup companies have literally fled the past.
