The 6 God becomes the first artist ever to reach this milestone, while teasing even more to come
Drake’s not just breaking hearts — he’s breaking records. On May 28, the Canadian superstar officially became the first artist in history to earn 10 diamond-certified singles from the RIAA, a monumental achievement that cements his place in the pop-rap pantheon.
The latest additions to his diamond-studded discography? His fan-favorite slow-burner “Hold On, We’re Going Home” and the breakthrough hit that started it all, “Best I Ever Had.” With these new certifications, Drake has pushed past music giants like Garth Brooks and Post Malone, who each sit at nine.
Let’s run it down — here’s the full roster of Drake’s diamond-certified singles:
God’s Plan
One Dance
Hotline Bling
SICKO MODE (with Travis Scott)
Life Is Good (with Future)
Love Me (by Lil Wayne)
No Guidance (by Chris Brown)
Hold On, We’re Going Home
Best I Ever Had
And don’t blink — “Nice for What” is already sitting at 9x Platinum, meaning a historic eleventh is likely just around the corner.
Social Media Reacts: Praise, Shade, and Subtext
Naturally, social media exploded with reactions. “Greatness before our eyes,” one fan wrote. Others couldn’t resist taking jabs at recent rap feuds: “Guess 20v1 didn’t go as planned,” one post quipped — a subtle dig referencing Kendrick Lamar’s lyrical onslaught earlier this year.
But the numbers don’t lie: Drake’s influence, reach, and staying power are undeniable.
What’s Next for the King of the Charts?
Drake’s not resting on his laurels. His recent collab EP Some Exy Songs 4 U with PARTYNEXTDOOR is still producing charting hits like “Nokia” and “Somebody Loves Me,” keeping him firmly planted on the Billboard Hot 100.
And the summer calendar? Absolutely stacked. He’s set to headline Wireless Festival in London, and his hometown OVO Fest in Toronto is officially making a comeback. If Drake has proven anything, it’s that milestones don’t slow him down — they just raise the bar.
