Mariah The Scientist’s ‘Burning Blue’ certified gold

Hearts Sold Separately is out now via Epic Records

Mariah The Scientist’s hit single “Burning Blue” has earned RIAA gold certification. The song appears on her latest album, Hearts Sold Separately, available now via Epic Records.

Hearts Sold Separately arrived during a true superstar turn for Mariah The Scientist. The album’s lead single, “Burning Blue,” swept headlines earlier this year when it became the first Apple Music chart-topper for a female soloist this calendar year, then earned Mariah her first Top 25 hit on the Hot 100. The subsequent release of “Is It a Crime” featuring Kali Uchis also landed on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, giving Mariah two simultaneous Hot 100 hits for the first time.

The dominance of “Burning Blue” extended to Billboard’s Rhythmic Airplay and Mainstream R&B/Hip Hop Airplay, peaking at no. 1 on each chart. At an intimate ceremony in Chicago this month, Mariah was presented with multiple plaques for the success of her biggest hit to date, including commemoration of its RIAA gold certification. The awards were presented by Ezekiel Lewis, President of Epic Records.
