The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) issues the Diamond award sparingly and only does so if a song has moved at least 10 million equivalent units by combining sales and streaming numbers, and if an artist or label requests certification. Most of the awards were given in the last 20 years with the exception of the first song.
