Meek Mill and Drake's reconciliatory anthem "Going Bad" continues to act as a sales juggernaut.

It didn't hurt that the track was a banger, with two swagged out verses from Drizzy and Meek, both of whom took to the Wheezy-produced beat on equal footing. Before long, "Going Bad" had become a radio staple, not to mention an instant favorite for those patiently waiting for a reconciliation between the former collaborators. While it might have been easy for the song to crumble under its own weight, "Going Bad" continues to have longevity, its shelf life lasting far beyond our expectations.
Case in point, we're officially looking at a quintuple-platinum joint -- a rare accomplishment, to be sure. The news comes on the same day Meek locked in a few additional plaques to his name, with "24/7" going platinum and "Respect The Game" going gold. If that's not proof the birthday boy is buzzing like never before, what is? Congratulations to Meek Mill and Drizzy for this one, and go stream "Going Bad" in celebration.
