Silento’s “Watch Me” Officially Certified 5X Platinum In The US

Silento’s viral sensation “Watch Me” has officially reached the 5x platinum threshold.

Issued February 8, 2016, the RIAA’s 5x platinum certification confirms a digital US unit total of at least 5 million.

Effective February 1, one digital unit is equal to 1 paid download or 150 streams. The previous conversation rate was 100 streams = 1 paid download = 1 unit; the extent to which retroactive scoring applies is unclear.

“Watch Me” peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100.
