Drake makes history as first artiste to earn 10 RIAA Diamond certifications

Canadian rap superstar Drake has officially etched his name in music history, becoming the first artiste ever to receive 10 Diamond certifications from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

The announcement was made on May 28 by the RIAA, which confirmed the historic feat in a social media post celebrating Drake’s unparalleled success.

“Drake has the most RIAA Diamond Certifications of any artist, ever,” the organization declared, sharing a graphic highlighting his remarkable collection of Diamond plaques.

Diamond certifications are awarded to songs or albums that have sold over 10 million units in the United States. The latest additions to Drake’s Diamond club are the smooth R&B hit “Hold On, We’re Going Home” from his 2013 album Nothing Was the Same and his breakout single “Best I Ever Had.”

These tracks now join a glittering lineup of previously Diamond-certified hits, including:

• God’s Plan

• One Dance

• Hotline Bling
