Last Thursday, Capitol CMG presented multi-talented artist and one of People Magazine’s Emerging Artists Riley Clemmons with a plaque recognizing the Gold certification of her single, “Fighting For Me,” alongside co-writers Jordan Sapp and Ethan Hulse and producer Jordan Sapp at an intimate album release party. This milestone marks a first for Riley, who has amassed over half a billion global streams and 85 million YouTube views since the beginning of her career. ” Fighting For Me” was released as the lead single for Riley’s sophomore album, Godsend, and quickly became her top performing song with over 160 million worldwide streams.

” Truly, I’m just so excited and completely overwhelmed with gratitude,” shares Riley. “” Fighting For Me” was written from such a deeply personal place, so watching it resonate with so many people has been surreal. My entire team surprised me with the Gold Record plaque, and I cried like a baby. It was such a special moment. I’m so grateful for every single person on the team that worked to make this milestone possible.”
