The recognition comes just seven years after receiving his first Gold certifications for “The Way I Talk” and “Up Down” in 2018, followed by “Whiskey Glasses” in 2019 \u2013 which is officially 13x Platinum certified today.

“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,” shares RIAA Chairman & CEO\u00a0MitchGlazier

With the May 2025 release of his fourth studio album,\u00a0I’m The Problem<\/em><\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>Wallen solidified his footing as “one of the biggest stars in the music world right now,” according to\u00a0Billboard<\/em><\/a>.\u00a0<\/em>The project was recently named Apple Music’s No. 1 album worldwide and Spotify’s No. 1 album in the U.S. all-genre for 2025.
