Congratulations are in order!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Congratulations are in order for Yungblud<\/strong> who has just scored his first ever Gold certified single!<\/p>\n

It’s already been a monumentally massive year for the Doncaster lad, but he’s showing absolutely no signs of slowing down. His latest achievement is ’11 Minutes’, his collaborative single with Halsey<\/strong> and Travis Barker<\/strong>, being officially certified Gold in the US. <\/p>\n

A gold certification in the US is equivalent to selling 500,000 units – so that’s a whole lot of love for ’11 Minutes’!<\/p>\n

Speaking about how Yungblud ended up with Travis Barker on the track, Dom shared “It was crazy, it was mental. I remember I programmed the drums and was like \u2018we\u2019ve gotta get live drums on this\u2019. And Zakk Cervini my producer was like \u2018do you know who would sound dope on this? Travis Barker.\u2019”<\/em><\/p>\n

“And I was just like \u2018\u2026you\u2019re right.\u2019 And then in my head I was like \u2018how do we get Travis Barker on the track?\u2019. And Ash – Halsey – obviously goes \u2018I\u2019ve got his number!\u2019 And I\u2019m just like \u2018of course you do\u2019. And Zakk goes \u2018Actually I\u2019ve got his number too\u2019 and I\u2019m like \u2018of course you do!\u2019.”<\/em><\/p>\n

He continued “So they text him, and 20 minutes later he\u2019s in the studio. And I\u2019m just stood there with my jaw wide open like- 13 year old me is dead right now. What?! That\u2019s Travis Barker playing drums on my song!<\/em><\/p>\n

“He was in for 10 minutes. Came in, nailed it in one take. I was like \u2018alright Travis, that was sick man. Can you just play that again, for our own entertainment?\u2019 And he was just like \u2018yeah man, no stress\u2019. And just comes in and nails it! And that fill at the end of it, just nails it in one.”<\/em><\/p>\n

And the rest is history! And gold was made!<\/p>\n
