Jay Z & Alicia Keys at 2009 World Series Game 2: Phillies vs. Yankees.
After taking only 5 months for their collaborative record to go 3x platinum after its release in ’09, one of the biggest anthems out of NY in the past few years has officially went 5x platinum. Jay-Z’s Alicia Keys-assisted Blueprint 3 single “Empire State of Mind” has passed the 5 million mark in digital sales, being the most successful song of their careers, passing both “Umbrella” which Hov was featured and Keys’ As I Am single, “No One.”
One time for New York!
