US-based Dancehall artiste HoodCelebrityy, now known as Tina, has earned her first UK certification after her 2017 breakout hit “Walking Trophy” was certified Silver for surpassing 200,000 units in sales and streaming equivalents.

The certification was officially issued by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) on Friday, November 6, marking another milestone for the Jamaican-born singer nearly a decade after the song's release.

“Walking Trophy” propelled Tina into the mainstream, peaking at No. 22 on Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart and No. 24 on the US Rhythmic chart. The song's success also helped her secure a major-label recording deal with Epic Records.

The empowering Dancehall song has continued to attract listeners worldwide, accumulating over 105 million views across YouTube uploads and more than 46 million streams on Spotify.

The song's popularity also reached high-profile audiences, with Ayesha Curry, wife of NBA superstar Stephen Curry, inviting Tina to perform the hit at her private birthday celebration.

The latest certification further highlights the lasting appeal of “Walking Trophy,” which remains Tina's signature hit and one of the defining records of her career.
