Future‘s music has staying power, if that wasn’t already made abundantly clear. Consider that within mere hours of its release, his new studio album High Off Life earned a gold certification — of course, that was largely in part due to the Drake-assisted “Life Is Good” going quadruple platinum, but such is the way of this modern system. Still, it would be unwise to ever discredit Future’s hitmaking potential, nor the replay value of his music. Case in point, he recently secured himself not one, but three new plaques for his collection.

According to the RIAA website, “Crushed Up” from The WIZRD has officially been certified gold; the video, released on January 9th, 2019, has amassed twenty-three million views. Another WIZRD single came through big in “Jumpin On A Jet,” which also hit gold; while not quite as popular as “Crushed Up,” the track still holds an impressive nine-million YouTube views. And last but not least comes another WIZRD banger, this time in the form of the Travis Scott-assisted “First Off.”
This latest accomplishment will further solidify The WIZRD as one of Future’s most rewarding bodies of work, perhaps even one of his top three — though that’s certainly up for debate. In any case, the songs off his seventh studio album continue to linger, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see a few crack platinum before long. As of now, the album itself is currently sitting at gold — though the last moment of certification was back in August, so who knows. Keep an eye out for more insight into Future’s impressive numbers.
