Garth Brooks' 10 Diamond Albums: RIAA Hall of Fame Bound
29 May
Summary
- Garth Brooks to receive artist of a lifetime award from RIAA.
- He is the only artist with 10 albums selling over 10 million copies.
- RIAA headquarters lacks space to display all of Brooks' diamond awards.
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) will present Garth Brooks with its artist of a lifetime award at an upcoming event in Washington, D.C. This honor celebrates his extraordinary career and sales achievements.
Brooks is uniquely recognized as the sole artist to have achieved 10 diamond certifications, with each album surpassing 10 million in sales. His record-breaking success means the RIAA's headquarters lacks sufficient space to display all of his diamond awards, underscoring his status as the No. 1-selling album artist in U.S. history.
The RIAA Honors event will also acknowledge Disney Music Group president Ken Bunt for his label executive contributions. Representatives Nathaniel Moran and Madeleine Dean will receive the policymakers of the year award for their bipartisan work on the TRAIN Act, which addresses copyright use in generative AI training.
