In the age of 21th century, French rap has become popular music. Moreover, the numbers continue to soar. However, the public has become increasingly critical. He often tends to judge the quality of an album by the sales figures. The proof, French rappers have already received the gold record. Let's find out in this text, which rapper has the most gold records?
For rappers, certifications like: gold, platinum or diamond are important for their resumes. To have a gold record, you have to make a substantial sale. You will discover in this text, which rapper managed to beat this record during his career.
Jul, the rapper
For your information, a gold record is very different from a gold single. The gold single is a certification given to songs after they arrive on streaming. To answer your question, Jul is the biggest selling French rapper in the history of French rap. He has already shared 6 free albums; and without counting these albums, and those that have not been taken into account by SNEP, all of the rapper's projects are certified. To be more clear, Jul has 90 gold records right now. This number is incredible, especially for a young rapper who is self-producing. For more than ten years, Jul has been the model for the greatest number. For information, these figures are those provided by SNEP. Sales figures in France are therefore not taken into account.
Being an international rapper, he must have at least ten gold records all over the world such as: Belgium, Switzerland, Morocco. This makes him one of the best rappers of 2021 who broke the record of a hundred gold records in the world.
The most listened to artist
In 2022, Jul is elected the most listened to and streamed French-speaking urban artist, especially on the Spotify platform. It even surpassed the 2.5 billion download mark and 4.7 million listeners per month. With that, he places himself ahead of Ninho, Orelsan and Grand Corps Malade. It therefore holds the first place among the biggest sellers of French rap records. His journey is breathtaking for a very young rapper in his category.
