There are 154 songs in history that have been certified diamond — here they all are
The RIAA gives diamond certifications to songs that have gone platinum 10 times.
"No One" by Alicia Keys and "Happier" by Marshmello are the most recent songs to receive the award.
Listen to the complete playlist on Business Insider's Spotify.
1. "Something About The Way You Look Tonight / Candle in the Wind" by Elton John
"Something About the Way You Look Tonight / Candle in the Wind" became the first-ever song to be certified diamond on October 9, 1997.
In fact, it received the certification two years before the official diamond award was unveiled by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). In the years since then, it has been bestowed sparingly — only if a song has moved at least 10 million equivalent units by combining sales and streaming numbers.
Crucially, an artist or label must also request certification through an application process, which can lead to a delay in updated sales figures.
