Certified legend: Drake bags 10 RIAA Diamond certifications
Last name Ever, first name Greatest! Drake blows the competition out of the water with his latest record.
I know when that hotline blings, that can only mean one thing: Drake has broken another music record.
The 'Hotline Bling' hitmaker is officially the king of diamond certifications.
According to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), Drake scored his 10th Diamond certification, making him the first music artist in history to do so.
'Hold On, We’re Going Home', featured on his 2013 album 'Nothing Was the Same,' and 'Best I Ever Had' from his 2019 mixtape 'So Far Gone' are the two songs that helped him reach the milestone.
The previous artist to hold the record was rapper Post Malone.
A Diamond certification represents 10 million units sold. Other artists inching closer to double-digit Diamond certification include Rihanna, The Weekend, Bruno Mars and Katy Perry.
