Achieving an RIAA Diamond certification stands as one of the highest honors in the music industry, marking an exceptional milestone for any artist. A Diamond certification is awarded to songs or albums that have sold at least 10 million units in the United States. For an artist, reaching this level not only solidifies the success of their work but also underscores its cultural resonance over time.
In music history, only two song has achieved the rare 2x Diamond status: Post Malone & Swae Lee’s “Sunflower,” and Bruno Mars’ “Just The Way You Are.” The latter is also the highest-certified single in history (21x Platinum). Other timeless tracks, like Ed Sheeran’s “Thinking Out Loud,” Katy Perry’s “Roar,” and John Legend’s “All of Me,” have also earned Diamond certification, showcasing the broad appeal and lasting impact of these songs.
Currently, only a few artists have achieved multiple Diamond-certified singles, a testament to their wide-reaching influence. From Khalid to Rihanna, these artists have made a lasting mark on music and continue to shape the landscape with their groundbreaking achievements. Here’s a look at the artists with the most Diamond-certified singles in the U.S.
