“Badge and Gun,” featuring saxophonist Jonny Diggens charted on iTune’s Electronic genre in 11 countries, including the US at number 3 and UK at number 18. 



I've been taken by surprise by how “Badge and Gun” went viral across social media, particularly on TikTok, with Jonny Diggen’s original saxophone duet getting used in 22K reels and my original audio in 7K reels.


It’s had 6.5m total plays on Instagram across reels using it as audio for a nostalgia trend that uses A.I generated images of 80s interior design and imagined lost locations.


Badge and Gun initially went viral on TikTok last year, was covered on Chicago local news after it received 2 million plays, now sitting at 4 million plays with the caption "P.O.V: It's 1986 and you've just handed in your badge and gun after things went bad".


Here’s a full breakdown of how “Badge and Gun” performed on iTunes since its release on June 14, 2024

Incredible achievement! Congratulations on the success of “Badge and Gun” across so many countries. I love how the track connects 80s nostalgia, electronic music, and retro interior design. It's amazing how music and a thoughtfully designed home atmosphere can bring back the feeling of an entire era. Well deserved!

Amazing achievement for Sunglasses Kid and Jonny Diggens! The success of “Badge and Gun” shows how strongly 80s nostalgia and synthwave music still resonate with audiences. I love how this retro aesthetic influences everything from cinematic visuals to fashion, especially music-inspired jackets that capture that classic 80s vibe. Congratulations on the impressive international chart success!

Added straight to my cart! Ready to face whatever survival horror winter throws Resident Evil 9 Requiem Leon Kennedy Black Leather Jacket at me while looking as sharp as Agent Kennedy himself.

The venom jacket collection has an edgy character that immediately makes it interesting to explore. Statement outerwear can be a great way to show personal style while keeping the rest of the outfit simple. I can imagine wearing one with a comfortable hoodie and casual trousers. A clean pair of sneakers would complete the relaxed streetwear-inspired appearance. These jackets bring plenty of attitude to an everyday wardrobe.
