Khalid's career is taking off in the UK. Not only has he just scored two Top 10 hits (his Logic feature '1-800-273-8255' and his Marshmello collaboration 'Silence') but his new single 'Young Dumb & Broke' also looks set to break the Top 20 this week.

And things are even bigger in the US. Khalid's debut album American Teen has just been certified Platinum.

View the lyrics
So you're still thinking of me
Just like I know you should
I cannot give you everything
You know I wish I could

I'm so high at the moment
I'm so caught up in this
Yeah, we're just young, dumb and broke
But we still got love to give

While we're young, dumb
Young, young, dumb and broke
Young, dumb
Young, young, dumb and broke
Young, dumb
Young, young dumb and broke
Young dumb broke high school kids

Ya-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Ya-da-da-da-da-da-da
Ya-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Young, dumb, broke high school kids

We have so much in common
We argue all the time
You always say I'm wrong
I'm pretty sure I'm right

What's fun about commitment?
When we have our life to live
Yeah, we're just young dumb and broke
But we still got love to give

While we're young, dumb
Young, young, dumb and broke
Young, dumb
Young, young, dumb and broke
Young, dumb
Young, young dumb and broke
Young dumb broke high school kids

Ya-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Ya-da-da-da-da-da-da
Ya-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Young, dumb, broke high school kids

Jump and we think
Leave it all in the name of love
Love
Run into sin
Do it all in the name of fun
Fun

Whoa-oh-oh

I'm so high at the moment
I'm so caught up in this
Yeah, we're just young, dumb and broke
But we still got love to give

While we're young, dumb
Young, young, dumb and broke
Young, dumb
Young, young, dumb and broke
Young, dumb
Young, young dumb and broke
Young dumb broke high school kids

Ya-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Ya-da-da-da-da-da-da
Ya-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Young, dumb, broke high school kids

Ya-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Ya-da-da-da-da-da-da
Ya-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Young, dumb, broke high school kids

THAT MEANS THAT AMERICAN TEEN HAS SOLD OVER ONE MILLION CHART COPIES IN AMERICA.

Khalid took to Twitter to celebrate the news last night. Addressing his fans the 'Homemade Dynamite' star wrote: "Earlier this year, I told myself that March 3rd was going to be the day to change my life. 7 months later, American Teen is Platinum."

"Thank you guys so much for everything man, this is so hard to process bc none of this feels real!"

Thank you guys so much for everything man, this is so hard to process bc none of this feels real! I’m so happy rn! Love you guys!

— Khalid (@thegreatkhalid) October 24, 2017

What a star. And this is made even more amazing by the fact that American Teen has no features.

That's not all though. The star's first hit single 'Location' has also reached an incredible feat. It has gone 3x Platinum across the pond and, bearing in mind that it is still Number 41 on the Billboard Hot 100, there's every chance that it could go 4x Platinum.

And we have no doubt that its successor 'Young Dumb & Broke' will catch up with it very soon.

Khalid Performs 'Young Dumb & Broke'

Khalid sang the acclaimed hit single on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert last night.

Brilliant performances and amazing record sales, there's no stopping this 19-year-old.
