Diplo Earns Platinum Certifications for Thomas Wesley Chapter 1: Snake Oil and "Heartbroken"

Diplo just hit another career milestone with two new RIAA certifications that prove his ability to dominate across multiple genres. His 2020 album, Diplo Presents Thomas Wesley Chapter 1: Snake Oil, has officially gone Platinum. This album was a bold experiment, where Diplo mixed country influences with his signature electronic sound. It featured collaborations with big names like Morgan Wallen, Thomas Rhett, and Orville Peck, and it clearly paid off—climbing to No. 7 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart. The project pushed boundaries, helping to blur the lines between country and electronic music.

One of the standout singles from the album, "Heartless" featuring Morgan Wallen, played a big role in its success. The track became a fan favorite, peaking at No. 16 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart and gaining over 400 million streams on Spotify. It’s been a huge crossover hit, showing Diplo’s skill in bringing together different sounds and audiences.

But that’s not all. Diplo’s single "Heartbroken," featuring Jessie Murph and Polo G, also went Platinum. Released in 2023, this track isn't part of the Thomas Wesley project but continues Diplo's trend of fusing genres. "Heartbroken" blends pop, hip-hop, and electronic elements, and the emotional collaboration with Jessie Murph and Polo G struck a chord with listeners. It’s been a major streaming hit, further proving Diplo’s ability to adapt and thrive in any musical space he steps into.
