Nigerian singer-songwriter Tems has yet to drop her anxiously awaited debut studio album but she already boasts a history-making Hot 100 #1 hit (‘Wait For U’ with Drake & Future), a global top 10 smash (‘Essence‘ with WizKid), and her own #1 hit on R&B charts with the breakthrough effort ‘Free Mind.’
As the latter continues to enjoy gains on streaming and digital download outlets, it’s been recognized for its commercial performance with a plaque from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
Details inside.
Taking to press Wednesday (October 4), the RIAA updated its logs to indicate Tems had collected her first two awards: a Platinum plaque for ‘Free Mind’ and a Gold plaque for ‘Higher.’
The former certification marks sales equivalence of 1 million in the United States while the latter denotes 500,000 sold in the same territory.
At the height of its popularity, ‘Free’ soared to #46 on the Hot 100.
At writing, the Omeiza-produced song – found aboard her debut EP ‘For Broken Ears‘ – remains her highest-charting hit to date.
