Beyoncé Makes RIAA History With Most Certified Titles For A Female Artist
Beyoncé has officially made history as the female artist with the most RIAA-certified titles. As of Tuesday (Dec. 17), the “ALIEN SUPERSTAR” singer boasts an impressive 103 certifications, solidifying her place as a music industry icon.
Recent highlights include platinum status for ‘COWBOY CARTER‘ and a 2x platinum certification for her chart-topping hit ‘TEXAS HOLD ‘EM.’
Additionally, ‘16 CARRIAGES‘ earned gold, while her ‘RENAISSANCE‘ album climbed to 2x platinum. Fan favourites ‘Drunk in Love‘ and ‘Crazy In Love‘ both achieved 8x platinum status, further cementing their legacy as timeless classics.
“We are so excited to recognize the incredible talent, hard work, and creative spirit reflected across diverse genres,” shared RIAA President and COO Michele Ballantyne, according to Variety.
“Beyoncé’s iconic catalog has earned her the achievement of most certified titles for a female artist in RIAA’s history. Congratulations to Beyoncé, Parkwood Entertainment, Columbia Records — and of course, the BeyHive, streaming on repeat!”
All eight of Beyoncé’s studio albums are now certified platinum or higher in the U.S. With the success of the first two instalments of her ‘RENAISSANCE’ trilogy, her next full-length release is poised to achieve similar acclaim.
