Drake has officially broken a major music industry record. The global superstar is now the artist with the most RIAA Diamond-certified releases in history, becoming the first to achieve 10 Diamond certifications across singles and albums. The milestone was confirmed after the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) awarded two new Diamond plaques to his catalog: “Best I Ever Had” and “Hold On, We’re Going Home.”
Each Diamond certification represents 10 million units sold or streamed in the United States. With these latest additions, Drake now surpasses Garth Brooks and Post Malone, who each hold nine Diamond awards—Brooks for albums and Post for singles.
