It's safe to say that Kesha has had one of the biggest comebacks of 2017. In July she wowed critics and fans alike with her first single in four years 'Praying' and in August she soared to the top of the charts with her brilliant third studio album Rainbow.

Now after just four months the singer has scored a huge Gold certification for Rainbow.

Let's be serious, come on
This is a real, this is, excuse me?
Ok, shut up

I buy my own things, I pay my own bills
These diamond rings, my automobiles
Everything I got, I bought it, boys can't buy my love, buy my love, yeah

I do what I want (She does), say what you say
I work real hard every day

I'm a motherfucking woman, baby, alright
I don't need a man to be holding me too tight
I'm a motherfucking woman, baby, that's right
I'm just having fun with my ladies here tonight

I'm a motherfucker
Mmh, yeah

Let's drive around town in my Cadillac
Girls in the front, boys in the back
Loosey as a goosey and we're looking for some fun

I'm a motherfucking woman, baby, alright
I don't need a man to be holding me too tight
I'm a motherfucking woman, baby, that's right
I'm just having fun with my ladies here tonight

I'm a motherfucker
Mmh, yeah
Mmh, yeah

Don't buy me a drink, I make my money
Don't touch my weave, don't call me "honey"
'Cause I run my shit, baby (I run my shit)

Don't buy me a drink, I make my money
Don't touch my weave, don't call me "honey"
'Cause I write this shit, baby, I write this shit

Don't buy me a drink, I make my money
Don't touch my weave, don't call me "honey"
'Cause I run my shit, baby, I run my shit

Don't buy me a drink, I make my money
Don't touch my weave, don't call me "honey" (Don't touch my weave, baby)
'Cause I run my shit, baby, I run my shit

Don't buy me a drink, I make my money
Don't touch my weave, don't call me "honey"
'Cause I run this shit, baby, I run this shit

Don't buy me a drink, I make my money
Don't touch my weave, don't call me "honey"
'Cause I write this shit, baby, I write this shit

I'm a motherfucking woman, baby, alright
I don't need a man to be holding me too tight
I'm a motherfucking woman, baby, that's right
I'm just having fun with my ladies here tonight

I'm a motherfucker
Mmh, yeah

THIS IS NOT A DRILL. RAINBOW HAS SHIFTED OVER 500,000 CHART COPIES.

Kesha has been a mainstay on the US charts ever since her triumphant return. Not only did 'Praying' climb to an outstanding peak of 22 on the Hot 100 but it has also been certified Platinum and Rainbow has sold consistently ever since its release.

We couldn't be prouder of Kesha and all that she has achieved as an artist in 2017.

The 'We R Who We R' singer has also had unprecedented success in the UK this year. Rainbow entered the Official UK Albums Chart at Number 4, making it not only her highest charting album in the UK but her first ever UK Top 5 album.

She also killed her performance of 'Learn to Let Go' at the MTV EMAs in London.

And delivered an incredible set in Brixton to her loyal animals shortly afterwards.

We cannot wait to see what 2018 brings for the talented star.

Fingers crossed 'Hunt You Down' gets the single treatment.
