Morgan Wallen has been named RIAA’s highest certified country artist of all time, as well as the third most-certified artist, all-genre (behind Drake and Taylor Swift for solo titles).
Wallen has amassed 239.5 million certified singles (solo + collaborations) and 26 million album certifications across his catalog. This feat also makes him the No. 2 digital singles-certified solo artist, all-genre. He received his first Gold certification in 2018 for “The Way I Talk” and “Up Down” before notching Gold for “Whiskey Glasses” in 2019, which was 13x Platinum certified today (Dec. 16).
“Morgan Wallen’s rise has been nothing short of remarkable. A trajectory powered through deep fan connection, multiple creative collaborations and partnerships with Big Loud and Republic Records,” shares RIAA Chairman & CEO Mitch Glazier. “Less than a decade after earning his first Gold singles, he has officially become the highest RIAA certified Country artist with 265.5M units, including credits on five Diamond-certified or higher singles! The sheer volume of streams behind this achievement speaks to how actively audiences continue to show up and his sustained journey reshaping modern music. Congratulations on this new height as Morgan and his team set their sights on the next.”
His 2025 I’m The Problem album is 4x Platinum certified, while 22 of its 37 songs are Gold-certified or higher. Additionally, every track on If I Know Me and Dangerous: The Double Album (including the bonus configuration) is now RIAA certified. Dangerous: The Double Album and One Thing At A Time are now both 9x Platinum certified. “Last Night,” and “Wasted On You” are each 12x Platinum.
Wallen now has five singles that are Diamond-certified or higher, including the newly Diamond certified “Heartless” with Diplo.
