Congratulations to Florida Georgia Line, who are the first Country act in 62 years of RIAA Gold and Platinum history to earn two Diamond Single Awards. The duo was honored with a virtual celebration late last week for their record-breaking hits “Cruise” and “Meant to Be.”
Brian Kelley said, “Thank you guys for the recognition and this ride has been a dream come true. It’s pretty crazy hearing the numbers. It’s pretty wild to think about it in that time span. Just super grateful. Thank y’all for taking the time and celebrating us, but know that celebrating us is celebrating y’all ‘cause it is all of us. I think we’ve all been doing this together and riding this wave since day one, so thank you guys.”
Tyler Hubbard added, “It is surreal and it is nice to take a second to let that sink in, and honestly we’re so thankful. It’s awesome to know it’s connecting. When I hear those numbers that’s what I hear, and I just think that’s something that we can all be proud of. Thank y’all for being a part of this team. We’re humbled by it, we’re really extremely motivated, we’re all in a great headspace, and we’re feeling really creative and all this does is inspire us even more . . .”
Only 43 singles have reached Diamond status in RIAA Gold and Platinum history.
