Gold status is conferred when an artist sells 500,000 minimum units, platinum status marks one million units, with diamond status bestowed at 10 million.
The hot track from her debut album, titled "Camila", was released in the summer of 2017. It was the best-selling digital single of 2018 according to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry.
