Nigerian singer Temilade Openiyi, better known as Tems has earned another RIAA platinum plaque after setting a new benchmark in the US music industry as the most certified female artist in the US.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports that her song ‘Found,’ featuring Brent Faiyaz, recently sold one million copies in the US, qualifying it for the award. The song also surpassed 119 million streams on Spotify, making it one of her most listened-to tracks.
The track is part of her second EP, ‘If Orange Was A Place,’ released in 2021. It became a popular song after the songstress rose to fame with her exceptional performance on Wizkid’s hit ‘Essence.’
With her latest achievement, she now has three platinum certifications for ‘Wait For U’ in which she featured Future, ‘Found’ and ‘Free Mind’.
This achievement made her the first Nigerian female artist to have an RIAA gold-certified album. She joins Rema and Wizkid as the only Nigerian artists with RIAA-certified projects, including Rema’s ‘Raves & Roses’ and Wizkid’s ‘Made In Lagos’, both of which are also RIAA gold-certified.
