RIAA: Taylor Swift Extends Reign As Female Artist With Highest Number of Platinum Hits

Published: Saturday 22nd Oct 2022 by Rashad

Thanks to megahits like ‘Shake It Off,’ ‘We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,’ ‘Mean,’ ‘Bad Blood,’ and more, Taylor Swift – with over 100 million records sold since her 2006 debut – sits as the second best-selling female artist of the digital era (bested only by Rihanna).

Two days before making history with her tenth studio album, the October 21-released ‘Midnights,’ the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) took to press to reveal the Pop diva was doing the same at its organization.

See how inside.

On Wednesday (October 19), the RIAA announced Swift had collected a new slew of shiny plaques to commemorate the sales and streaming activity of some of her more recent hits.

Look below to see the list of updates.

3x Platinum

  • ‘Lover’ (Album)

2x Platinum

  • ‘Folklore’ (Album)

1x Platinum (denotes sales equivalence of 1 million in the United States)

  • ‘Willow’ (Single)
  • ‘Cardigan’ (Single)
  • ‘Evermore’ (Album)
  • ‘Exile’ (Single)
  • ‘The 1’ (Single)

With the refreshed certifications Swift extends her record as the female act with the most number of hits certified Platinum or higher (49).

What’s more, her digital single sales now sit at 137.5 million in the U.S. – making her the fourth best-selling artist of the era overall.  Only Eminem (166 million), Drake (164 million), and Rihanna (155.5 million) have moved more units over their respective careers.

Among female album sellers, the updates above move Taylor into sixth place on the all-time RIAA list. Having sold 49 million albums (as of time reported), only Mariah Carey (70 million), Barbra Streisand (68.5 million), Madonna (64.5 million), Whitney Houston (60 million), and Celine Dion (51 million) have sold more in America.

        Oh no honey, God hates blackies thats why he gave them diseases that only they can have, such as ebola, sickle cell, and h i v.

        Black Americans are 60% more likely to have diabetes than white Americans. Compared to other diabetics, black people have up to 2.5 times the risk of having a leg amputated and up to 5.6 times the risk of developing renal disease. 

        Compared to white Americans, African-Americans have a threefold higher risk of dying from asthma.

        Black people experience substantially higher blood pressure readings and experience high blood pressure far earlier in life than do white people. At age 20 and older, about 42% of black males and more than 45% of black women had high blood pressure.

        For all races, cancer treatment is equally effective. Yet the cancer death rate among black males is 40% higher than that of white men. Compared to white women, African American women die from cancer at a rate that is 20% higher.

    She could sell one Billion albums and still wouldn’t be the “It girl” for me.

    After she drops NEW music…there is a overwhelming focus on her album sales, Billboard records than actual music because she’s NOT a cultural phenomenon like Michael or Madonna.

    Her impact on Modern music is very minimum.

    Mariah has 73 million certified…love your articles though
