Lil Nas X's "MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)" Goes Platinum Less Than a Month After Release
All of Lil Nas X’s singles are officially platinum.
Lil Nas X‘s latest single “MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)” has officially been certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) just a few days shy of its one-month anniversary.
The artist took to social media to share the incredible feat and a series of memes created in support of the track. “MONTERO IS NOW PLATINUM! I HAVE THE BEST FANBASE OF ALL TIME!” he wrote on Instagram. “CANT WAIT FOR U GUYS TO HEAR THE ALBUM THIS SUMMER!”
Lil Nas X released the single on March 26 and the RIAA certified it as platinum on April 22 — officially marking all of his released singles plus his 7 EP as platinum. Although “MONTERO” was met with controversy as both a single and due to the MSCHF x Nike Air Max 97 “Satan Shoes,” the track still went on to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Elsewhere in music, Top Dawg Entertainment is hinting at a major release on May 7.
