Khalid‘s “American Teen” album has been certified platinum by the RIAA.

Since its release back in March, it has shaped up to be an impressive year for the 19-year-old artist. The Georgian singer has been able to do this with no features, and with the success of singles like “Location” and “Young Dumb & Broke,” it’s all shaping out to make him a Grammy hopeful.

Khalid took to Instagram to deliver the news by saying, “Thank you guys so much for EVERYTHING! I love you guys! A debut album with NO features. LETS GOOOO.”

 

Earlier this year, I told myself that March 3rd was going to be the day that changed my life forever. 7 months later, American Teen is Platinum. Thank you guys so much for EVERYTHING! I love you guys! A debut album with NO features. LETS GOOOO
