There are only 41 songs in history that have been certified diamond — here they all are
- Only 41 songs in history have been certified diamond by the RIAA, which is an award given to songs that have gone platinum 10 times.
- Foster the People's "Pumped Up Kicks" and John Legend's "All of Me" are the most recent songs to receive the certification.
- Taylor Swift is the first and only female artist in US history to have both a diamond-certified single ("Shake It Off") and album ("Fearless").
- Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road" is the fastest song in history to be certified diamond.
- Eminem, Ed Sheeran, and Katy Perry each have three diamond singles.
There have been legions of summer bops, one-hit wonders, career-making anthems, and headline-making singles. There are songs you feel like you can't escape and songs you hear on every radio station.
But just a handful of those have been played so much, they've gone platinum multiple times — and even fewer have gone platinum 10 times over.
The latter can earn a diamond certification, the highest honor bestowed by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Since the official diamond award was unveiled in 1999, it has been awarded sparingly — if a song has moved at least 10 million equivalent units by combining sales and streaming numbers, and if an artist or label requests certification.
Only 41 songs in history have been certified diamond by the RIAA. Keep scrolling for the complete list in chronological order of certification.
