Drake Receives 30 New RIAA Certifications and Passes 350 Million Units
Drake received 30 new certifications from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on 23 October 2026, according to Billboard. The batch covers albums and single tracks, and it pushes him past a new milestone in the count.
The RIAA is the US industry body that awards certifications when a recording reaches a set sales level. Those levels are measured in certified units, a count that adds together album sales, single sales and streams converted into equivalent sales. A diamond award marks 10 million certified units. A double diamond marks 20 million.
Among the new awards, the album VIEWS and the songs "In My Feelings" and "Marvin's Room" each earned diamond certification. "God's Plan" is now double diamond. Billboard reports that Drake is the first artist to surpass 350 million RIAA-certified units, and that he is the most certified artist of all time. He holds 18 diamond plaques, the highest total of any artist.
The RIAA's public Gold & Platinum database lists the 30 entries under the same date. They include albums such as SCORPION, CERTIFIED LOVER BOY, MORE LIFE, SO FAR GONE, ICEMAN and CARE PACKAGE. They also include singles such as "God's Plan", "One Dance" with WizKid and Kyla, and "Fair Trade" with Travis Scott. Several entries are shared with 21 Savage, including "On BS" and "Broke Boys."
The count has grown quickly. In May 2025, Billboard reported that Drake had reached 10 diamond certifications, a record at the time. The database entries for October 2026 bring his diamond total to 18.
Certifications count sales and streams. They do not rank songs or albums by quality, and a single certification can cover a long span of listening. For the artists and writers behind the recordings, the awards are a record of how many copies were bought and how many times songs were played, and the RIAA lists each one publicly so that anyone can check the level reached.
