One of three things is definitely gonna happen in the coming years:

1. RIAA is gonna change the number of units required for a song to be certified Diamond.

2. Rules for streaming equivalent units will be updated and it will take more total streams to equate to one total sale. It’s also possible we could see a time limit implemented on streams becoming additional sales units, but that would be super controversial.

Or 3. There will be another Certification created that is higher than Diamond, and most likely starting at either 20 or 25 million units sold

This makes ZERO sense. Those posty records were huge. Like some of the biggest songs in all of the 2000’s huge. That is not an easy task. The plaque wasn’t just handed to him 😭 Now we are talking about diamond plaques being “too easy” like everyone has one just because Drake is about to take the lead. Every time drake does something the rules change for you guys. Streams actually count too little if anything.

BREAKING! Drake to get multiple diamond certifications soon.

“OMG its way too easy in this streaming era!!!”
“Def gotta change the rules we can’t let him get away with this.”

In no world is getting a diamond record easy and it should NOT be made more difficult. These are some of the biggest songs of our life time. Lol come on now

Big Dog definitely a troll

They were huge, no one’s denying that, but a song going Diamond in like 2-3 years is kind of ridiculous.

Also, the amount of songs going Diamond or nearing Diamond status nowadays is way larger than the amount of songs that went Diamond from 1999-2015, this isn’t just a Drake issue.

Posty has the most ever because those songs were MEGA hits. Inescapable music. Very well deserved. But let it sink in the record is 8. 8.. is incredibly small. The record for the most platinum records gotta be in the 100’s.

You one of the biggest haters on this site and you’re wrong every time. Literally ONLY drake haters be sucking you off on this site lmaoo. You get no motion guaranteed

It’s not, Drake actually has the most Platinum singles ever with 76. The next closest is Kanye with 51.

I only hate Drake stans like you, you have no friends, no life, you need to touch some grass, you're maybe fatherless too because you defend Drake so much

Loser

If a song is that big.. so be it. You know you would need 15 BILLION streams to go diamond? Thats f***ing nuts. And something only real deserving hits can achieve.

It’s not even necessarily a bad thing that all of these songs are going Diamond, it’s great for the artists.

I just think that RIAA will update or change their Certification rules so that the highest Certification they give out seems more prestigious and harder to obtain

Life Is Good got a Diamond certification less than 2 years after being released

YouTube autoplay's impact

Same concept just about 80 compared to.. 8 lol.

Well yeah, because Diamond is ten times Platinum, so it makes sense.

That s*** is the most rigged Diamond certification of all time and I'm not hating on Drake... Drake is the only listenable part of this song lol

Taylor has a bunch of diamond records? Bruno mars? Adele? It is the most prestigious it gets lol. If the biggest artists in the world can only get 1-5 diamond records in the span of 20 year careers. I think to make it any more difficult is ridiculous. And to say it isn’t prestigious like sexy redd can come in here and make a diamond record is the worst post on this site

So boom you just proved diamond is perfect where it is.

Streaming keeps getting bigger every year, so yeah, Billboard/RIAA needs to update their methodology eventually

Nothing trivial about it. It's not easy to do.

The point is that in 10/15/20 years time, most major artists will end up having at minimum 3 Diamond records. It won’t be as prestigious as it used to be.

It’s reality just simple math lmao

They really think going Diamond is easy. Just because one artist it a few artist can do it doesn't mean 99% of the industry doesn't find it really difficult to do lmao.

Definitely isn’t easy to do, but it is becoming much much easier to accomplish. Both of those things can be true at the same time

Nobody said it was easy, it’s just not as hard & prestigious as it used to be. There’s no arguing that, it’s factual

It is not easy to do, period.

You’re right.

But it is easier to do than it used to be.
