Chris Brown's 'No Guidance' certified diamond

A few days after bagging three nominations for the 2025 Grammys, Chris Brown has another reason to celebrate.

This week, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) certified his 2019 single, 'No Guidance' featuring Drake, diamond—the equivalent of 10-million units or more.

It is the singer's first diamond single. Drake now has eight.

That's not the only good news for Chris. The 35-year-old's smash hit, 'Under the Influence', was certified 5x platinum. He has several platinum-selling singles, including 'Privacy', 'To My Bed', 'Party' featuring Usher and Gucci Mane, and 'How We Roll' with Ciara.

Other musicians who recently had songs to receive a diamond certification include Rihanna. Her 2012 hit, 'Diamonds', reached diamond status in 2024.

South African singer Tyla, who went on tour with Chris in 2023, achieved gold status for her self-titled debut album. 'TYLA' has sold more than 500,000 units in America.

"MY ALBUM WENT GOLDDDDDD," she wrote on X in October. Tyla's single, 'Water', was certified 2x platinum in April 2024.

Chris also celebrated the one-year anniversary of his 11th studio album, '11:11'. The album, which featured hits such as 'Sensational' ft. Davido and Lojay, is nominated for three Grammys.

'11:11' is nominated for 'Best R&B Album', while 'Sensational' is up for 'Best Afrobeats'. Another single from the album, 'Residuals', has been recognised in the 'Best R&B Performance' category.

Breezy, as his fans call him, is heading to South Africa in December. He will perform at a sold-out show at FNB Stadium on December 14.
