Certified Legend: Drake Achieves Most Diamond Records Ever

Drake has officially cemented his legacy in the music industry by becoming the artist with the most RIAA Diamond certifications across both singles and albums. With the recent addition of two of his biggest hits—“Hold On, We’re Going Home” and “Best I Ever Had”—the Canadian superstar now holds an unprecedented 10 Diamond plaques.

The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) awards Diamond status to singles or albums that surpass 10 million units in sales and streams. Drake’s continued presence on this exclusive list reflects not just popularity, but staying power and cultural impact.

“Hold On, We’re Going Home,” a smooth, synth-driven anthem from his 2013 album Nothing Was the Same, and “Best I Ever Had,” the breakthrough hit that introduced Drake to the world in 2009, have both proven their longevity. Their inclusion in the Diamond club highlights the artist’s evolution—from mixtape newcomer to global icon.

This milestone sets Drake apart in a competitive industry, putting him ahead of legendary peers when it comes to total Diamond-certified records. It’s a testament to his consistency, his broad appeal, and his ability to shape the sound of modern music across more than a decade.
