Beyoncé just accomplished a milestone no other female artist has achieved

0

Beyoncé has made history — again. She has achieved more gold, platinum, and multiplatinum certifications than any other female artist in the history of the Recording Industry Association of America. To date, she has had 103 albums and songs achieve elite commercial status as rewarded by the RIAA. Check out her latest certifications here.

Her certified works include her latest album, Cowboy Carter, which went platinum on Tuesday. Its lead single, “Texas Hold ‘Em,” went double-platinum on the same day. Those are her two major contenders going into the upcoming Grammys, where she’s up for 11 awards. That’s the most nominations ever achieved by a single album. Among the accolades she’s aiming for are Album of the Year (Cowboy Carter), Record of the Year (“Texas Hold ‘Em”), and Song of the Year (“Texas Hold ‘Em”). She’s also a first-time contender across all country categories, including Best Country Album and Best Country Solo Performance (“16 Carriages”).

Queen Bey’s previous studio albums performed even better, though they have had longer to accumulate sales and streams. Her debut solo album, Dangerously in Love, and  I Am… Sasha Fierce are both seven-times platinum. Her self-titled album went platinum six times over. B’Day is five-times platinum. Lemonade and 4 both went quadruple-platinum. And her dance album Renaissance achieved double-platinum certification. Leading the way among her individual songs are “Halo” and “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It),” which are both a remarkable 11-times platinum.

“We are so excited to recognize the incredible talent, hard work and creative spirit reflected across diverse genres,” RIAA President and COO Michele Ballantyne said in a statement. “Beyoncé’s iconic catalogue has earned the achievement of most certified titles for a female artist in RIAA’s history. Congratulations on this crowning milestone, Beyoncé … and we see you, BeyHive, streaming on repeat!”
