“Let Her Go” the smash global hit single by Passenger, has been certified Diamond (10x Platinum) by Music Canada.

Coinciding with the recent release of his latest album Runaway, the video for “Let Her Go” surpassed 2 billion views on YouTube, joining a very exclusive club. Originally recorded in 2012, the single reached No.1 in 19 countries. Passenger tracks now have more than a billion streams on Spotify.
