Chris Stapleton’s “Tennessee Whiskey” has been certified RIAA Double Diamond with over 20 million units sold—the first country song ever to reach this milestone.

Of the achievement, RIAA Chairman & CEO Mitch Glazier shares, “Chris Stapleton’s undeniable vocal grit and storytelling have connected deeply – driving chart successes, earning major awards, and most importantly, resonating with fans. RIAA is proud to celebrate him alongside MCA as ‘Tennessee Whiskey’ today makes history, becoming the first Country single ever to earn a Double Diamond certification with two million units in the U.S. alone. It’s a remarkable achievement and another defining moment in Stapleton’s career.”
