    LMFAO's run was brief but remarkably impactful. Their single "Party Rock Anthem" became the first YouTube video to reach 1 billion views, a milestone that underscored the viral power of the duo's music. It also held the record for most weeks at number one on the US Hot Dance Club Songs chart with 11 weeks. The song was certified 8x Platinum in the US, 4x Platinum in the UK, and 10x Platinum in Australia. Globally, "Party Rock Anthem" sold 9.7 million digital copies in 2011 alone, making it the third-best-selling digital single of that year. The duo's two albums charted in multiple countries, with Sorry for Party Rocking reaching the top 5 in the US, Canada, and Australia. Their influence on dance-pop and the EDM crossover trend is widely acknowledged, even if their active period was short.
