Big Machine’s Chris Janson just added some more hardware to his trophy room with an RIAA 5x platinum certification for his smash “Buy Me a Boat.”

Janson accepted the honor on 1/20 at a Washington D.C. event designed as a fundraiser for Musicians on Call, where he was joined by RIAA chairman & CEO Mitch Glazier and chief policy officer Morna Willens.

The singer-songwriter also wanted to raise attention for musicians’ rights, which he’s emphasized in his support for Tennessee’s ELVIS Act, a now-enacted law designed to restrict use of AI and protect the image, likeness and voice of all Americans, not just celebrities.

In recognition of the award, Janson said, “It was an awesome time in the RIAA house and a complete surprise receiving the 5x Platinum award for 'Buy Me A Boat.' I'm totally humbled and grateful.”

Glazier added,“We don't take these moments for granted [and] to recognize the incredible hard work and creative talent of an artist like Chris Janson. RIAA is honored to acknowledge not only this single, but his drive to ensure that all musicians can thrive.”

Big Machine Label Group's Nashville Harbor Records & Entertainment imprint drops Janson’s new single, “Stay Rowdy,” on Friday (1/31).

HITS is still paying off that 2019 dinghy.
