Chris Stapleton’s version of “Tennessee Whiskey” has been certified RIAA Double-Diamond, selling over 20 million units and becoming the first country song to reach this milestone.
“Chris Stapleton’s undeniable vocal grit and storytelling have connected deeply – driving chart successes, earning major awards, and most importantly, resonating with fans,” shares RIAA Chairman & CEO Mitch Glazier. “RIAA is proud to celebrate him alongside MCA as “Tennessee Whiskey” today makes history, becoming the first country single ever to earn a Double Diamond certification with twenty million units in the U.S. alone. It’s a remarkable achievement and another defining moment in Stapleton’s career.”
Stapleton is set to continue his “All-American Road Show” through this fall with stops at Nashville’s Nissan Stadium, Detroit’s Ford Field, Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Toronto’s Rogers Stadium and Boston’s Fenway Park, among many others. Tickets go on sale this Friday (Jan. 16).
