Drake & 21 Savage Earn RIAA 2x Platinum for "Hours In Silence"

"Hours In Silence," a collaborative track by Drake and 21 Savage, has officially been certified 2x Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The certification, dated October 24, 2025, recognizes 2,000,000 certified units sold in the United States. The song was released under the OVO Sound and Republic Records labels.

The track was first released on November 4, 2022, as part of the duo's joint album, Her Loss. The album was presented by Drake as the final installment of a conceptual trilogy, following his 2021 album Certified Lover Boy and 2022's Honestly, Nevermind. Thematically, "Hours In Silence" is an emotional R&B/Hip-Hop song where the artists address a distant lover. The track's production notably samples the background vocals from Kingpin Skinny Pimp's verse on DJ Paul's 1993 song, "Talk Yo Ass Off (Remix)."

Her Loss marked a full-length collaboration between Drake, a prominent Canadian rapper and singer, and 21 Savage, building on their numerous prior musical partnerships. The album featured a single guest appearance from Travis Scott and enlisted a roster of high-profile producers, including Boi-1da, Metro Boomin, Oz, Tay Keith, and Vinylz. The project gained additional attention for its unconventional marketing campaign, which included spoofs of a Vogue cover and an interview on The Howard Stern Show.
