Chris Brown stole Elvis Presley’s RIAA Gold six months after dethroning him as the Hot 100’s most-awarded male performer.
Brown now has the most gold-certified singles, with his 56th being “Call Me Every Day.” The song is from Chris’ tenth solo album, “Breezy,” and follows breakout hits “Iffy” and “Warm Embrace (WE).”
Presley had 54 gold records, while Chris is one of the most successful selling artists of the digital age, with over 92.5 million in sales.
Only NBA YoungBoy (93), Kanye West (88), Drake (74), Eminem (72), and Future (68) have more Gold records than any other male act.
