Outkast has dethroned Marshall Mathers as the highest-selling hip-hop album in history. Their fifth studio project, “Speakerboxxx/The Love Below” was officially certified as having sold 13 million units by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on September 29th. This achievement has been noted by Big Boi, one of the group members, who took to Instagram to celebrate, as the honor coincides with the 20th anniversary of the album’s release.
The album featured two No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100: Big Boi’s “Hey Ya!” and Andre 3000’s “The Way You Move”. Additionally, it debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, and won a Grammy Award for Album of the Year, five years after Lauryn Hill’s 1998 album “The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill”.
To mark the anniversaries of “Speakerboxxx/The Love Below” and “Aquemini”, Outkast has partnered with Get On Down to release both albums on vinyl. It’s sure to be a nostalgic experience for hip-hop fans, and a reminder of one of the greatest albums of all time.
