Anaheim's kxllswxtch goes platinum with 'Waste'

Anaheim's kxllswxtch has a platinum record. The single "Waste" was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America for 1 million certified units, according to the RIAA listing shared in Juice Unlocked's Feb. 10, 2026, post.

The post said the certification put kxllswxtch on a very short list of Orange County artists with a platinum record.

The certification

The RIAA listing dates the platinum certification Nov. 20, 2025. "Waste" went gold first, on Aug. 31 of a year hidden behind the Juice Unlocked logo in the graphic.

The song came out Oct. 29, 2021, as a digital single on KILL! / EMPIRE, and the RIAA lists it under the alternative genre. That puts the trip from release to platinum at just over four years.

“Crazy I went from living in a mobile home park making music in my closet to now having a platinum record. Thank you guys for making all this possible I love yall!”

From the closet to the plaque

The post's cover graphic includes a screenshot of a kxllswxtch Instagram caption marking the milestone. In it, the artist looks back on living in a mobile home park and making music in a closet.

The caption ends by thanking fans and asking them to keep running the music up so the plaques keep coming.
