"Thrift Shop" is a song by Seattle-based American rapper Macklemore and his producer Ryan Lewis. It was released as the fifth and final single from their collaborative debut studio album The Heist (2012) on August 28, 2012 and features vocals from Wanz.
Despite being released on Macklemore's independent label, with distribution by ADA, the single was met with unexpected commercial success, also a sleeper hit, peaking at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, while selling 6.2 million copies in total. The song also reached number one in the United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland, Canada, France, Denmark, Netherlands, Australia and New Zealand. Furthermore the song has garnered more than 300 million views on YouTube, this number steadily increasing. The song is the first independently-distributed title to top the Billboard Digital Songs since "We Are the World 25 for Haiti" in February 2010. It is also only the second independent song in history to achieve the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, nearly 20 years after Lisa Loeb's "Stay (I Missed You)" in 1994. A music video was released to accompany the song's release on August 29, 2012. It was used in the trailer for the film The Internship.
