Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’ “Thrift Shop” just got upgraded. Today, the RIAA announced that the duo’s 2012 hit has crossed the 10 million mark. After Eminem, they become the second hip-hop act to earn the honor in single sales. Congrats to the entire Sharkface Gang!
And the next Rap act to receive one will be Caucasian too… What a fucking surprise!

kinda sad 4real… smh hip hop been around all this time with only 2 diamond single sellers… & both are white… but hey… “u know how that shit go..” http://toomanyfuckinrappers.tumblr.com/
I have generated 74,000 dollars so far this year working online and I am a full time student. I am attached with an online business entity that I heard about and I have earned such great cash. It is really user friendly and I feel myself lucky to have that option. Why not try this. ff…
selling 7 million of a whole album back then considering the market share is actually way better than 10 million of a single now. and the comparison is perfect. time will tell

JustSaying says:
White rappers go plat cuz white people buy music!! if you want your favorite black rapper to go plat, buy his fucking music
white rappers go plat because whites are more comfortable accepting rap from people who look like them and they are the majority in america. just numbers. no real indication of interest or impact. especially since most white fans pick up rap in junior high and stop listening after college. it’s just an afterthought funded by disposable income. Unfortunately the hood uses rap for everything (recreation; partying; mentorship; music education) and what the majority of us like will never do huge numbers, that’s why the 90’s is referred to as the golden era: because the creators of the genre (blacks, latinos) still controlled the sound via purchasing power. so stop trying to act like black people don’t buy music. the same percentage of blacks and whites buy music. 27% of all white people is a much bigger number
keep it real says:
and theres more platinum selling black rappers than white

I agree with pretty much all of your points but niggas don’t buy albums. Or merch. They stream and watch videos.

I dont like macklemore or this song but its because they are commercially appealing to women and younger kids…Alot of black hiphop artist cater their music to just their culture which obviously limits sales…its not always about race in the sense people want it to be
That’s insane and amazing. Congrats! This is what happens when you actually make a song that everyone can play.
