Omah Lay’s breakthrough single soso has reached a major milestone, becoming eligible for Gold certification in the United States after moving over 647,000 units.
The achievement marks what would be the singer’s first certified record in the region.
Released in 2022 as part of his debut album Boy Alone, soso quickly grew into one of the standout Afrobeats tracks of its era. Its lyrics and memorable hook helped it dominate streaming platforms, social media trends, and radio rotations, ensuring its longevity long after release.
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) awards Gold certification to singles that achieve 500,000 units in combined sales and streams. With soso comfortably surpassing that threshold, Omah Lay now awaits formal recognition for the feat.
The milestone adds to the song’s global footprint, as soso has also enjoyed commercial success in other international markets, underlining Omah Lay’s growing status as one of Afrobeats’ most influential trailblazers.
