YoungBoy Never Broke Again has released his new album Slime Cry, marking yet another milestone in a career that continues to redefine modern music benchmarks. Already one of the most prolific artists of his generation, YoungBoy now holds more certifications than any rapper in history.
According to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), YoungBoy has amassed 126 RIAA certifications totaling 140.5 million units. That places him behind only Elvis Presley and ahead of an elite group that includes Kanye West, Drake, Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Eminem, Rihanna, and Elton John. It is a pace unmatched by any major artist at the same age.
What legacy superstars often take decades to achieve, YoungBoy has compressed into less than ten years. The RIAA has officially recognized YoungBoy NBA as the most successful rapper of the decade, holding the record for the most Platinum-certified albums between 2015 and 2025.
With Slime Cry, YoungBoy continues to demonstrate what sustained, fan-driven dominance looks like in the streaming era. Beyond recordings, his Make America Slime Again Tour grossed over $75 million, cementing his place among hip-hop’s elite live performers.
