Kesha shook the world in 2010 with her epochal debut album, Animal, which topped the Billboard 200 and charts around the globe upon its New Year’s Day release. Certified 4x Platinum by the RIAA for sales exceeding 4M in the United States alone, the album’s blockbuster success was fueled by a series of hit singles including the 12x Platinum, worldwide #1 “TiK ToK,” the 5x Platinum “Your Love Is My Drug,” the 4x Platinum “Take It Off,” and the 3x Platinum “Blah Blah Blah,” all of which immediately confirmed Kesha as a generational talent and undeniable global pop superstar. Released November 19, 2010, Animal + Cannibal paired Animal with Cannibal, an additional EP of new songs that individually earned 2x Platinum certification thanks to such tracks as the 6x Platinum, worldwide #1 hit single, “We R Who We R.”

The historic impact of Animal + Cannibal continued this year with the viral renaissance of “Your Love Is My Drug,” which saw millions of TikTok videos created and earned close to 1M plays each day, along with placement on a wide variety of popular playlists. What’s more, both “Your Love Is My Drug” and “TiK ToK” ascended Spotify’s “Top Songs USA” chart, catapulting Kesha to a new peak on Spotify’s “Top Artists USA” ranking with over 46M monthly listeners.
