That's just the beginning too
and he updated all the press photos….
So happy for Majid Jordan to get their first ever diamond track
OVO Sound artists really winning this year.
Solo album isn't even out yet
Garth Brooks with 9 Diamond ALBUMS is f***ing crazy
Well over half of his certifications are fraud / bundled so

his numbers always trip me up, if you look at the biggest single concerts its pretty much him at top of the list. He just did one last year that did 25M I think.
He is definitely a superstar but his numbers would make you believe he in MJ/Beatles range which he isn't.
Explain
RIAA unlike Billboard/Luminate is way easier to game cause sales certifications are based on shipments (and now including streaming).
Also they count how many discs are apart of an album. So a 3 disc album would count as 3 sales.
Garth was definitely huge and the biggest male artist of the 90s, but his RIAA certs are hella inflated with multi-discs, discontinued club sales, etc. Most of his certifications are ridiculous compared to actual sales.
He made it a personal goal to become the highest certified artist by any means necessary.
He recently had a 2018 live tour album that is certified 7x Platinum yet never charted.
DTMF 5B+ in streams already.
He just crossed 100B+ spotify streams joining Drake and Swift as well. Probably becomes the #1 streaming artist next year.
First album to do 10B streams in a year?
We gon get it there

7x plat but never charted sounds crazy

I’ve heard that Naomi Sharon song on so many reels too. Looks like she got one
7x plat but never charted sounds crazy
Same cert as Scorpion with a box set of live tour performances that were sold on his website and never charted
I honestly think he and his team just straight up bought copies with that one. RIAA allows as it as Jay-Z & Rihanna have gone Platinum from Samsung buying copies and then handing them out as free downloads.
Almost all his certs this century are just box sets where an album has like 5 CDs and went 5x Platinum by shipping 1 million or something similar
