Post Malone & Blake Shelton’s “Pour Me A Drink” Has Been Certified Platinum By The RIAA
Post Malone and Blake Shelton’s Duet Gets Platinum Certification
Post Malone and Blake Shelton have hit a major milestone with their party anthem “Pour Me a Drink.”
Malone and Shelton first performed “Pour Me a Drink” during night one of this year’s CMA Fest. When the song officially dropped on June 21, it quickly became a summer radio sensation. The duet marked the first collaboration between the two superstars and soared to the No.1 spot on the U.S. Country Airplay chart.
About a month after the track’s release, they debuted a music video to accompany the song. Fans couldn’t get enough of the duet, and the video has already gained over 31 million views.
“This is that feel good song we all been looking for,” a fan commented on the music video
“Post Malone and Blake Shelton’s voices complement each other perfectly,” another said.
“This is such a cool country song. It sounds like late 2000s country. I love it,” added another.
On Wednesday, December 11, “Pour Me a Drink” was officially certified Platinum by the RIAA. The certification is awarded when 1 million copies of the song are sold.
Not only did the duet become a hit for Malone and Shelton, but Shelton revealed that the song also served as a wake-up call for him in terms of his career.
In an interview with PEOPLE, he said that when his collaboration with Post Malone reached #1, it ultimately motivated him to release his first new solo single in two years, “Texas.”
Speaking on the subject, Shelton told the outlet:
“Then that kid came along and asked me to sing on his song with him. It took off and was a big hit this summer, and it reminded me like, ‘Hey, get off your a–! This may be your last chance to really take a big swing at this thing.’ So here I am.”
With as much success as “Pour Me a Drink” has seen, it wouldn’t be surprising if Malone and Shelton team up again in the future. We’ll just have to stay tuned and see!
