What Albums Have Gone Diamond in the U.S.
The RIAA awards a Diamond certification when an album reaches 10 million units consumed in the United States, combining traditional sales and on-demand audio or video streams. As of the latest RIAA database updates, fewer than 150 albums hold this status, spanning genres from hip-hop and pop to rock and country. The threshold was originally set at 10 million copies sold, but the methodology shifted in the 2010s to reflect streaming contributions, which changed how older and newer releases qualify for the honor.
