by Staff Editor
Khalid’s debut album American Teen is officially certified platinum. The Texas-raised singer, who is also a ‘Best New Artist” Grammy hopeful (along with SZA & Julia Michaels) took to Instagram on Tuesday (Oct.25), to make the big announcement.
“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.” said Khalid.
The great news of going platinum wasn’t the end of an awesome day for the 19-year-old. Khalid followed up the announcement hours later with an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert where he performed his latest radio hit “Young Dumb & Broke”. If you missed it, watch the clip below:
