The song has been certified quadruple Platinum in the US.
This is outdated. RIAA later certified Flo Rida’s “My House” at 6× Platinum, not 4× Platinum.
Full reasoning
The claim says the song has been certified quadruple Platinum in the United States, but the official RIAA awards listing shows a later certification at 6× Platinum for "My House" by Flo Rida.
Specifically, the RIAA's September 2018 Gold & Platinum awards PDF lists "My House" with a 6× Platinum badge dated September 11, 2018. That directly contradicts the page's present-tense statement that the song has been certified only quadruple Platinum.

making it the second best-selling song of the year
Nielsen’s official year-end U.S. music report ranked “My House” No. 3 among 2016 digital song sales, not No. 2.
Full reasoning
This clause is incorrect. Nielsen's official 2016 Year-End Music Report (U.S.) ranks "My House" by Flo Rida at No. 3 on the list of Top Digital Songs by Sales for 2016, with 2.241 million sold.
A separate Nielsen mid-year report did rank "My House" at No. 1 for the first half of 2016, so the article's following phrase about being the best-selling song of the first half is consistent with that report. But for the full year, Nielsen's year-end report places it third, not second.
