About this listen
Conan Gray has had an absolutely massive week, folks, with multiple milestone certifications that underscore his trajectory as one of Gen Z's defining artists. Just yesterday, December first, the Recording Industry Association of America certified his breakout single Heather as five times Platinum, recognizing five million units sold in the United States. This follows hot on the heels of his album track The Cut That Always Bleeds earning Platinum status that same day, marking one million certified units. These certifications cement Heather's status as a cultural juggernaut that has surpassed two billion streams and continues to dominate nearly five years after its March twenty twenty release.
But the timing is particularly poignant because today, December third, marks National Heather Day, the grassroots holiday that literally originated from the song's opening lyrics. The date comes straight from Gray's haunting line "I still remember the third of December," which sparked a viral TikTok movement that has become a worldwide sweater swapping tradition. Fans celebrate by exchanging jumpers as a way to express affection and care, something Gray himself has celebrated on social media in previous years.
Looking ahead, Gray is continuing his momentum with live performances. He's scheduled to perform at Madison Square Garden this Friday, December twelfth at seven PM, which marks another stop on his Wishbone Pajama Show tour that he announced earlier this year. The tour has been selling out venues across the US and Mexico since May, and Gray is also gearing up for the Wishbone World Tour launching in twenty twenty six to support his latest album.
Gray's career continues to accelerate at an impressive pace. His fourth studio album Wishbone released in twenty twenty five, and he's now accumulated over twelve billion career streams. His two thousand twenty four arena tour, which included sold out shows at Madison Square Garden and Wembley Arena, demonstrated his evolution from internet sensation to legitimate arena headliner.
The Conan Gray story is one of consistent artistic growth and genuine connection with his audience. From a Texas native who started as a songwriter creating his own music and designing his own art, he's become a global phenomenon whose work resonates deeply with millions.
