Drake has achieved a historic milestone by becoming the artist with the most RIAA Diamond certifications ever — a total of ten. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) confirmed the news on May 28, announcing that his singles “Hold On, We’re Going Home” and “Best I Ever Had” have now reached Diamond status, joining an already impressive list.
With this update, Drake’s Diamond-certified catalog also includes hits like “God’s Plan,” “One Dance,” “Hotline Bling,” Travis Scott’s “SICKO MODE,” “Life Is Good” with Future, Lil Wayne’s “Love Me,” and Chris Brown’s “No Guidance.” These achievements place Drake ahead of Garth Brooks and Post Malone, who each hold nine Diamond certifications.
The RIAA celebrated the milestone with a social media post showcasing all 10 plaques. Drake now stands as the first artist to hit double-digit Diamond certifications across both singles and albums. An 11th certification may be on the horizon, with “Nice for What” currently certified 9x Platinum.
Fans quickly reacted on social media. “You just simply can’t say anything bad about this,” one person wrote. Others used the occasion to reference Drake’s ongoing rivalry with Kendrick Lamar, commenting, “Looks like the 20v1 didn’t work out!”
Beyond the certifications, Drake continues to stay active. In February, he released his collaborative album $ome $exy $ongs 4 U with PARTYNEXTDOOR, with two tracks still charting on the Billboard Hot 100. This summer, he’s scheduled to headline all three nights of Wireless Festival in London from July 11–13 and is also planning the return of OVO Fest in Toronto.
Drake’s consistency and dominance show no signs of slowing down.
