Rihanna's hit song 'Diamonds' has achieved a significant milestone by being certified diamond by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America). This prestigious recognition is awarded to songs and albums that reach the 10 million equivalent units mark in the U.S.
'Diamonds' is now Rihanna's third diamond-certified single in America, following her previous successes with 'Love the Way You Lie' featuring Eminem and 'We Found Love' with Calvin Harris. What sets 'Diamonds' apart is that it is the first of Rihanna's diamond hits achieved solely under her name, without any featured artists.
The song 'Diamonds' was released in 2012 as the lead single from Rihanna's album 'Unapologetic.' It quickly soared to the top of the Hot 100 chart, solidifying its status as one of Rihanna's chart-topping hits.
Rihanna's 'Love the Way You Lie' with Eminem remains her top-certified track, having achieved diamond status over a decade ago. The song currently holds a remarkable 13-times platinum certification, showcasing the enduring popularity of the collaboration.
In addition to 'Diamonds,' three more of Rihanna's hits are on track to receive diamond certifications in the near future. 'Work,' 'Needed Me,' and 'Stay' are all currently at nine-times platinum status, hinting at more diamond honors to come for the music icon.
