Macklemore and Ryan Lewis have achieved a musical accomplishment that only six other acts have reached. Their hit single, "Thrift Shop," has officially been certified diamond by The RIAA.
In order to be certified diamond, a single must have sold over 10,000,000 copies. Other well known artists that have earned diamond status includes, Justin Bieber and Katy Perry. Macklemore and Ryan Lewis are the first hip-hop artists to achieve this status since Eminem did with "Not Afraid" and "Love The Way You Lie" which featured pop superstar Rihanna.
Macklemore took to Instagram to thank fans for their ongoing support and announce their new diamond status.
"Thrift Shop" has been a critical success, earning the group four Grammys including, Best Rap Performance, Best Rap song and Best Rap Album.
