Michael Jackson, Eminem, Taylor Swift, and Mariah Carey are the only acts in the top 30 of both lists.

This is the list of the highest-certified music artists in the United States based on certifications of albums and digital singles (but not physical singles) by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). [1] RIAA certifications are based on wholesale shipments rather than retail sales. Since 2016, the RIAA album certification has also included on-demand audio/video streams (1,500 streams = 1 album unit) and track sale equivalent (10 track sales = 1 album unit). [2] Additionally, awards are only presented if and when a record company applies for certification. Therefore, the total certified units for a given artist may be incomplete or out of date.

Contents

The RIAA began its certifications in 1958, therefore, popular artists from earlier eras are generally not represented on this list. As of February 10,2024, The Beatles have the highest total certified albums and Drake has the highest total certified digital singles. Michael Jackson, Eminem, Taylor Swift, and Mariah Carey are the only acts in the top 30 of both lists.
