The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has recognized Morgan Wallen as the highest-certified country artist in history, with total certified units reaching 265.5 million.
The certification totals include 239.5 million certified singles (solo and featured) and 26 million albums. Wallen ranks as the third most-certified artist across all genres for solo titles, behind Drake and Taylor Swift, and the second most-certified solo artist for digital singles across genres.
Wallen’s rise to this milestone began with his first Gold certifications in 2018 for “The Way I Talk” and “Up Down,” followed by “Whiskey Glasses” in 2019. The latter track is now certified 13x Platinum.
In a statement, RIAA Chairman and CEO Mitch Glazier shared, “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. 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,”
Wallen’s fourth studio album, I’m the Problem, released in May 2025, has been certified 4x Platinum. Twenty-two of its 37 tracks have reached Gold status or higher. All tracks from his prior albums If I Know Me and Dangerous: The Double Album (including bonus configurations) are now RIAA-certified.
Earlier releases Dangerous: The Double Album and One Thing At A Time — ranked No. 1 and No. 6, respectively, on Billboard’s Top 200 Albums of the 21st Century — are each certified 9x Platinum. Singles “Last Night,” which held the Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 spot for 16 weeks, and “Wasted On You” are certified 12x Platinum.
Wallen now holds five Diamond-certified or higher singles, including the newly Diamond-certified “Heartless” featuring Diplo from 2019.
Wallen’s career highlights include 20 No. 1 country radio singles and extended runs atop Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart. His albums have maintained positions in the Billboard 200 top 10 for over 100 weeks each, a first for any artist.
