Drake Secures 10th Diamond Single, Cementing His Place in RIAA History

Canadian rapper Drake has once again demonstrated his dominance in the music industry, particularly when it comes to streaming and sales. He has officially earned his tenth RIAA Diamond single, thanks to his 2013 house-infused hit “Hold On, We’re Going Home,” featuring Majid Jordan. With this latest certification, Drake now holds the record for the most RIAA Diamond singles in history.

To be certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), a song must reach at least 10 million equivalent units sold in the U.S. Out of just 168 songs to ever achieve this milestone, Drake now owns ten—solidifying his status as one of the most commercially successful artists of all time.

Drake’s Diamond Club also includes the following tracks: “God’s Plan,” “One Dance” (featuring Wizkid and Kyla), “Hotline Bling,” “Best I Ever Had,” Travis Scott’s “Sicko Mode,” “Life is Good” with Future, Rihanna’s “Work,” Lil Wayne’s “Love Me,” and Chris Brown’s “No Guidance.”

What’s remarkable is how Drake consistently delivers on these tracks, whether as the lead artist or a featured guest. His versatility and broad appeal are evident across genres and collaborations.

This latest achievement also reinforces Drake’s status as the best-selling artist in U.S. history by total album units. And he may soon add an eleventh Diamond plaque to his name—his 2018 track “Nice for What,” from the album “Scorpion,” was last certified 9x Platinum in October 2023 and is inching closer to the coveted ten-million mark.

Other artists with the most RIAA Diamond singles include Post Malone with nine, and both Rihanna and The Weeknd with seven each. Drake also leads in total RIAA-certified singles with 80—far ahead of the next closest artist, Kanye West, who has 56.

If there’s one thing these accolades confirm, it’s that the “beef” with Drake has largely existed online, not in the charts. Amid his ongoing controversy with Kendrick Lamar, Drake continues to prove his commercial supremacy.

2025 has already been a remarkable year for the rapper. In February, he released the joint album “Some Sexy Songs 4 U” with PARTYNEXTDOOR, which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. The project’s breakout single, “Nokia,” is currently sitting at No.12 on the Billboard Hot 100, after a top two peak.

Drake is also set to headline the annual Wireless Festival this July in London, promising another high-profile moment in a year full of them.
