The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) celebrated Brett Young‘s Diamond-certified hit “In Case You Didn’t Know” at Nashville’s Adventure Science Center on Tuesday night (March 19).

The milestone marks 10 million certified units in the United States, and makes “In Case You Didn’t Know” the ninth country single to achieve the feat in RIAA history.

“This has truly been the song that keeps on giving. As grateful as I am to this song, and what it is meant to my career, I’m even more grateful to all the people behind the scenes that works so hard to make sure it would be the successful,” expressed Young. “I think we all had high hopes, but never imagined this song earning an RIAA Diamond certification. Thank you to everybody that came out, and everybody that had a hand in all of the success.”

He performed the tune, which marks his 11th RIAA certification, as well as Platinum-certified “Lady” and current single “Dance With You” before accepting the Diamond honor in front of music industry friends, media, his wife Taylor and daughters Rowan and Presley.

“I will always remember the first time I heard this song–it was around two in the morning. Brett was in Mexico and sent me a rough demo. I must have listened to it about 40 times before I could finally fall back to sleep,” recalled Jimmy Harnen, Nashville Harbor Records & Entertainment President & CEO. “It just felt like a massive hit from the very first listen!”

“‘In Case You Didn’t Know’ is truly one of those rare and extraordinary evergreen songs—it’s been seven years since its release and it continues to play and play, and reach new audiences for Brett,” shared Scott Borchetta, Big Machine Label Group Chairman & CEO. “It’s a testament to Brett’s songwriting ability and a shining jewel in his very robust and ever-expanding catalog.”
