Travis Scott Achieves Remarkable Milestone With “ASTROWORLD” Amid Impressive Run Of Feats

Travis Scott can say that his 2018 album ASTROWORLD was just the second to do this. According to an Instagram repost from RapTV, every song from La Flame’s third studio LP is now officially platinum by the RIAA. In an ironic twist, the only other artist to do this is Cardi B with her controversial debut, Invasion of Privacy. Not to rag on Travis Scott fans, but it just seems that he can never be first when it comes to awards and accomplishments. Cardi B’s album did this in a shorter window of just under four years. Travis has now done it in just over six.

Obviously, this is still such an amazing feat, which is actually one of many as of the last couple of weeks. Not too long ago, we have learned that the rerelease of DAYS BEFORE RODEO is looking at around 217,000 units in its first week with 190,000 of those being pure sales. It’s outpacing many new releases and could go number one the charts if he can beat out Sabrina Carpenter. Furthermore, Travis Scott was just celebrating another milestone for an older record of his, “goosebumps”.

The Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight cut featuring Kendrick Lamar just achieved diamond status, making it his second song to do so. There’s always been a constant debate amongst the hip-hop community, as well as Scott’s fan base as to what his best work is. More OG fans may say Rodeo, but with this otherworldly accomplishment, the campaign to push ASTROWORLD to the top of the heap may become fiercer than it already is. It certainly has his biggest songs on it and some of his most lush production to date, which is saying a lot. We are welcoming the debate, so let the war begin.

What are your thoughts on every song off of Travis Scott’s ASTROWORLD going platinum? Are you surprised that this happened, why or why not? Were you shocked to learn that Cardi B’s Invasion of Privacy was the only other album to do so? Do you think La Flame will achieve this feat with any of his other projects? Where do you rank ASTROWORLD in his discography? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

USHER Returns To Atlanta, Receives Phoenix Award & A Spot On Black Music And Entertainment Walk Of Fame

USHER has to be on cloud nine right about now. The legendary R&B singer put on the performance of a lifetime at Super Bowl LVIII this past weekend in Las Vegas. He was not alone during the show, as Ludacris, Lil’ Jon, Alicia Keys, and more, assisted him. It made it all more special and this one will be remembered for a long time. USHER also put a ring on his longtime girlfriend, Jennifer Goicoechea, not too long after the big game. But, the wins just keep on coming for the multi-talent. Just yesterday, USHER had to catch a flight back to Atlanta, Georgia, to receive some pretty remarkable awards.

Atlanta is one of the many places that he has roots in, but this is where USHER got his career off the floor. So, it was only right that the city recognized him for the Phoenix Award. According to WSB-TV 2 Atlanta, it is a prestigious honor that recognizes an individual or group for their outstanding service to the city. USHER gave an impassioned speech to the crowd, giving props to the city for helping him find his way in life.

“Atlanta is a city of belief. Atlanta is a city that allowed me to be that Phoenix to rise. It is a city that has allowed me to have the tenacity to go out and share this culture that I found when I was here.” On top of that, the Black Entertainment and Music Walk of Fame unveiled his spot three years after he was a part of the inaugural class. Mayor Andre Dickens, who was in attendance, thanked USHER for representing Atlanta with pride at the Super Bowl. “The whole world got to see that Usher brought the world to the A.” The final cherry on top was that Fulton County decided to name February 14 “Usher Day.” The man is back everybody.

What are your thoughts on USHER getting his flowers from the city of Atlanta? Do you think he should have received the Phoenix Award sooner? Was his Super Bowl performance a top 10 Halftime Show of all time? Is COMING HOME one of his best albums ever, why or why not? What songs have you added to your rotation? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to tell us in the comments below. Additionally, keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding USHER.
