Grammy-nominated R&B trailblazerBryson Tiller has reached another major milestone in South Africa, earning 18 new Recording Industry of South Africa (RISA) certifications across his celebrated catalogue.

The latest accolades include 16 single certifications for fan favourites “Don’t,” “Exchange,” “Let Em Know” and “Right My Wrongs,” reaffirming the enduring popularity of the Louisville native’s music more than a decade after his breakthrough.

His acclaimed albums have also achieved new milestones, with TRAPSOUL now certified Platinum and A N N I V E R S A R Y earning Gold status in South Africa.

Released in 2015, TRAPSOUL redefined modern R&B, seamlessly blending melodic storytelling with hip-hop production to create one of the genre’s most influential albums of the past decade. Tracks like “Don’t” and “Exchange” became global anthems and continue to resonate with audiences worldwide, while ANNIVERSARY further showcased Tiller’s evolution as one of contemporary R&B’s most distinctive voices.

The certifications arrive just days after Bryson Tiller’s highly anticipated return to South Africa for Durban July weekend. Throughout his visit, the multi-platinum artist received an overwhelming reception from fans and industry alike, with his appearances generating significant buzz across social media and reaffirming the strong connection he has built with South African audiences over the years. “South Africa has always shown incredible love for Bryson and his music. “, says Refiloe Ramogase, Commercial Director at Sony Music Entertainment Africa“These certifications are a reflection of that continued support and the lasting impact his catalogue has had across generations of listeners. Seeing that love extend beyond streaming into real cultural moments, like his recent visit to Durban July, makes this achievement even more meaningful.”
