Ludacris And Usher Celebrate “Yeah!” Hitting 13X Platinum Status Following The Super Bowl

American rapper, Ludacris, and R&B legend, Usher, both have another cause for celebration.

The 45-year-old vocalist and the 46-year-old rapper revealed on X (formerly known as Twitter) that Usher’s 2004 single “Yeah!”, which includes Ludacris and Lil Jon, achieved 13 platinum certification. Ludacris first posted on the social media platform on Monday, February 9, two days before the duo’s 2024 Super Bowl performance of “Yeah!”

The post also included an image of a Spotify plaque that Ludacris recently received, which indicated the song had achieved a record-breaking one billion streams. On Tuesday, Usher also commented on the positive news by quoting and retweeting Luda’s post.

This is the first time that a song by Usher, Ludacris, or Lil Jon has amassed one billion Spotify plays, according to Billboard. In the days following his Super Bowl halftime performance, the eight-time Grammy winner’s library has seen an increase in streaming activity, with “Yeah!” leading the way.

According to Billboard, the song received 4.8 million official on-demand streams in the United States between February 11 and 12, up from 2.3 million streams between February 9 and 10. During Usher’s Super Bowl performance on February 11, a stellar group of special guests also performed alongside him.

He began by having Alicia Keys perform her own song, “If I Ain’t Got You,” before she joined the headlining act to perform their hit, “My Boo.”
