Canadian rap icon Drake has etched his name into music history, becoming the first artist ever to achieve 10 RIAA Diamond certifications—a testament to his unparalleled impact on the global music scene.
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) announced on May 28, 2025, that Drake’s 2009 breakout hit “Best I Ever Had” and the 2013 fan favorite “Hold On, We’re Going Home” have both surpassed 10 million units in sales and streaming equivalents, earning Diamond status.
These latest accolades bring Drake’s total to 10 Diamond-certified singles, solidifying his position at the pinnacle of music achievements.
Drake’s journey to this historic milestone has been marked by a series of chart-topping hits and cultural anthems. His 2018 smash “God’s Plan” stands as his highest-certified single, boasting a 15x Platinum status. Other Diamond-certified tracks include “Hotline Bling,” “One Dance,” and “Sicko Mode” (with Travis Scott), each contributing to his record-breaking tally.
In addition to his Diamond achievements, Drake has surpassed 200 million RIAA-certified single units as a lead artist, further cementing his legacy as a dominant force in the music industry.
This unprecedented accomplishment not only underscores Drake’s enduring appeal but also sets a new benchmark for artists worldwide, exemplifying the heights attainable through innovation, consistency, and a deep connection with audiences.
