There’s no better way to celebrate your birthday than with a handful of diamonds — and Drake just added six more to his legendary collection. On his 39th birthday, the Canadian rapper received a massive update from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), earning six new Diamond certifications.
Among the latest additions, “Nice For What,” “The Motto,” “Passionfruit,” “Nonstop,” and “Headlines” have officially crossed the Diamond threshold, each surpassing 10 million units sold in the United States. His 2011 album Take Care, often regarded as a defining moment in his career, also achieved Diamond status, marking his 16th Diamond plaque in total — 15 for singles and one for an album.

This milestone extends Drake’s record as the artist with the most Diamond-certified singles in RIAA history, a feat no one else has come close to matching.
According to the RIAA’s latest update, Drake’s catalog also received several multi-Platinum boosts across both singles and albums. Views reached 9x Platinum, Nothing Was the Same climbed to 7x Platinum, and If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late earned 5x Platinum status. His newer material is performing just as strongly — For All the Dogs is now 3x Platinum, with standout tracks like “Rich Baby Daddy,” “Slime You Out,” “Hours In Silence,” and “Virginia Beach” all earning new multi-Platinum certifications.
