Tyga and Offset's 'Taste' Reaches RIAA Diamond Status

Tyga’s 2018 single "Taste," featuring Offset, has officially reached Diamond certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) as of September 24, 2024. This achievement signifies the track surpassing 10 million units in combined sales and streaming, marking a significant moment in both artists' careers.

Released on May 16, 2018, "Taste" quickly became a major success. It peaked at No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100, demonstrating Tyga’s return to the mainstream after several years without chart success. The track’s smooth production, courtesy of D.A. Doman, combined with Offset's dynamic feature, made it a standout hit that summer. Its longevity on streaming platforms and its consistent presence on social media and playlists contributed significantly to reaching the Diamond milestone.

The RIAA Diamond certification is reserved for tracks that have moved 10 million units, which can be either digital sales or streaming equivalents. The song’s enduring popularity across streaming services like Spotify, YouTube, and Apple Music played a critical role in this achievement. Tyga expressed his gratitude to fans on social media, recognizing the role they played in streaming and supporting the song.

For Offset, "Taste" represents his first Diamond-certified track, adding a new accomplishment to his already successful career. As a member of Migos, Offset has had multiple hits, but this certification highlights his individual achievements as a featured artist on one of Tyga’s biggest songs.
