Sam Hunt’s “Body Like A Back Road” Certified Double Platinum In US

The smash has spent 18 straight weeks atop the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.

Sam Hunt’s smash hit “Body Like A Back Road” has officially attained multi-platinum status in the United States.

According to the RIAA, the single was certified double platinum on June 6, 2017.

The award confirms 2 million in US units; each unit is equal to 1 paid download or 150 streams.
