Nearly three decades on, the 1997 Hip-Hop favourite hits the million mark!
Lil’ Kim just added another plaque to her wall. ‘Crush on You’ is officially RIAA-Certified Platinum! That means one million units in the United States.
The Hip-Hop favourite dropped in 1997. It peaked at #6 on the Hot 100 and #2 on the Rap chart. Plus, the video introduced Kim’s iconic colourful wigs.
Nearly three decades on, her loyal fans still know every word. Furthermore, the track shows real staying power, whilst new listeners keep discovering it.
Therefore, this milestone feels well earned. It also strengthens the legacy of her debut album, Hard Core, which already went Double Platinum. Few rappers have built a catalogue this durable.

So, queue it up. Rap along badly if you must. Then tip your hat to the Queen Bee. Platinum looks good on her! Nothing says timeless like a million fans singing in unison, so crank the volume and enjoy the moment.
