  • The RIAA gives diamond certifications to songs that have gone platinum 10 times.
  • More than 150 songs have been certified diamond and 28 artists have multiple songs on the list.
  • Post Malone has the most with nine, followed by Rihanna and The Weeknd with seven apiece.

The official diamond award was unveiled by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in 1999. In the years since, it has been bestowed sparingly — if a song has moved at least 10 million equivalent units by combining sales and streaming numbers, and if an artist or label requests certification.
