Drake now has 10 Diamond certifications from the Recording Institute Association of America, the most of any artist in history.
The RIAA announced that “Hold On, We’re Going Home,” and “Best I Ever Had,” have officially been cettified as Diamond, giving Drake the distinguished honor.
Drake’s other Diamond plaques are “One Dance,” “God’s Plan,” “Hotline Bling,” Life Is Good” with Future, “Love Me” with Lil Wayne, “Sicko Mode” with Travis Scott, and “No Guidance” with Chris Brown.
In the near future, Drake could have an 11th plaque with “Nice For What” — which is currently 9 times platinum.
Drake’s new plaques now put him ahead of Garth Brooks and Post Malone, who both have nine Diamond certifications.
Drake’s having a great year so far. According to Chart Data, Drake is the No. 1 best-selling artist in the United States based on total album units. That figure is undoubtedly propelled by his collab album with PartyNextDoor, Some Sexy Songs 4 U, that dropped in February and moved 246,000 units in the first week.
Because of Some Sexy Songs 4 U, Drake now has a total of 14 No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200, which ties him with Taylor Swift and Jay-Z as artists who have the most chart-topping LPs ever
Drake’s big year is set to continue with the news that OVO Fest is set to make a return.
The Toronto rapper himself revealed that his iconic show is coming back when he made a cameo at Central Cee‘s Toronto show, telling the audience, “I’ll see you this summer, by the way. OVO Fest will be back this year.”
Drake even asked Central Cee, right there, if he’d be down to come perform. “We’ll need you there for that,” he said.
