Drake, the Toronto rapper, has set a new record in music history. He is now the first artist ever to earn 10 RIAA diamond-certified records. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) confirmed this on Wednesday. Two more of Drake’s hits, “Hold On, We’re Going Home” and “Best I Ever Had,” officially joined the diamond club, pushing his total to ten.
This achievement puts Drake ahead of other music giants like Garth Brooks and Post Malone. The RIAA proudly shared on Instagram, “Drake has the most RIAA Diamond Certifications of any artist, ever.” Fans and music lovers everywhere are celebrating this milestone.
Drake’s Diamond Hits: A Legacy of Black Excellence in Music
Drake’s collection of diamond records includes some of the biggest songs of the last decade. Hits like “God’s Plan,” “One Dance,” “Hotline Bling,” and “SICKO MODE” (with Travis Scott) showcase his impact on music. Other diamond-certified tracks include “Life Is Good” (with Future), “Love Me” (with Lil Wayne), and Chris Brown’s “No Guidance.”
Currently, “Nice for What” is just shy of diamond status, sitting at nine-times platinum. It could soon bring Drake’s total to 11 diamond hits. These records prove how much Drake’s music connects with people around the world.
Breaking Records and Setting New Standards in the Music Industry
Drake’s new record breaks a tie he had with Garth Brooks, who has nine diamond albums, and Post Malone, who has nine diamond singles. Now, Drake is the first artist to reach double digits in diamond certifications for both singles and albums.
Since his first album, “Thank Me Later” in 2010, every one of Drake’s albums has topped the U.S. Billboard charts. This shows his consistency and ability to stay relevant in the fast-changing music world.
Drake’s Continued Success and New Releases
Drake is often called one of the greatest rap artists of all time. His latest album, “$ome $exy $ongs 4 U,” is a joint project with PARTYNEXTDOOR. It features two singles currently charting on the Billboard Hot 100: “Nokia” at No. 12 and “Somebody Loves Me” at No. 77.
Fans and critics alike eagerly watch his next moves. With 10 diamond hits and counting, Drake’s influence on music and culture remains powerful and inspiring.
