Drake Breaks Records as the Artist with the Most Diamond-Certified Records in History

Aubrey “Drake” Graham has once again made music history — this time by officially becoming the artist with the most diamond-certified songs ever, according to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). As of May 28, 2025, Drake has amassed a record-breaking 10 diamond plaques, solidifying his status as one of the most dominant and influential artists in modern music.

This remarkable milestone was achieved after his beloved classics “Hold On, We’re Going Home” and his breakout hit “Best I Ever Had” each surpassed 10 million units sold, including streams and digital sales. These recent certifications pushed him past other multi-platinum juggernauts like Post Malone and Garth Brooks, who each previously held nine diamond-certified songs.

Drake’s diamond-certified catalog is a mix of solo chart-toppers and massive collaborations, showcasing both his versatility and unmatched ability to craft hits across genres. His 10 diamond tracks include:

  1. “God’s Plan”

  2. “One Dance”

  3. “Hotline Bling”

  4. “SICKO MODE” (with Travis Scott)

  5. “Life Is Good” (with Future)

  6. “Love Me” (with Lil Wayne)

  7. “No Guidance” (with Chris Brown)

  8. “Work” (with Rihanna)

  9. “Hold On, We’re Going Home”

  10. “Best I Ever Had”

These songs span over a decade of Drake’s career, with each marking a cultural moment in hip-hop, R&B, or pop. From club anthems like “One Dance” to introspective tracks like “God’s Plan,” Drake has consistently connected with global audiences in ways few artists can.

Notably, this milestone also reflects the growing power of streaming in the music industry. Diamond certifications today account for both traditional sales and streaming equivalents — a space where Drake thrives. With billions of streams under his belt, he continues to dominate charts and playlists across all major platforms.

Drake is now the first artist to reach double-digit diamond singles, a feat that sets him apart in both digital and physical music history. With tracks like “Nice For What” already certified 9x platinum and poised to join the exclusive club, it's likely this record will only grow in the months to come.

Beyond the numbers, this achievement further cements Drake’s influence not just as a rapper, but as a global pop culture force. He’s an artist who has reinvented himself continuously, while still managing to top the charts and stay relevant across different generations of fans.

As fans and fellow artists celebrate this achievement, the conversation now shifts from what Drake has done — to what he'll do next. With new music always rumored and his catalog still gaining streams daily, the Canadian superstar isn’t showing any signs of slowing down.

Drake’s reign continues, and as it stands, he’s not just breaking records — he’s rewriting what it means to be legendary in the streaming era.
