Drake has reached an unprecedented milestone, becoming the first artist in music history to earn 10 RIAA Diamond certifications
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) confirmed the achievement on May 28, celebrating the Canadian rapper’s record-breaking feat with a social media post that read: “Drake has the most RIAA Diamond Certifications of any artist, ever.”
The announcement was accompanied by a graphic showcasing his impressive lineup of Diamond-certified hits.
Two new songs recently joined Drake’s elite Diamond club—“Hold On, We’re Going Home” from his 2013 album Nothing Was the Same and his breakout 2009 single “Best I Ever Had.” Each track has now surpassed 10 million units sold in the United States.
These tracks add to his already massive collection of Diamond records, which includes:
“God’s Plan”
“One Dance”
“Hotline Bling”
“Life Is Good” (with Future)
“SICKO MODE” (with Travis Scott)
“No Guidance” (with Chris Brown)
“Love Me” (with Lil Wayne and Future)
With this achievement, Drake surpasses both Garth Brooks and Post Malone—each previously tied at nine—and becomes the only artist to hit double-digit Diamond certifications across both singles and albums.
