The music world just saw a massive shift! Morgan Wallen is now the highest certified country artist of all time. He has 265.5 million total units. This means he has passed legends like Garth Brooks and Luke Combs.
This huge win shows that country music is no longer just for small towns. It is now a central streaming platform in the United States.
He is now the third most prominent solo artist in history. Only Drake and Taylor Swift have more certifications than he does right now. Wallen joined Taylor Swift and Drake to form a new Big Three. Each one wins differently. Drake has many singles. Taylor sells many physical albums. Wallen wins because his fans stream his massive albums over and over again.
Morgan Wallen is officially the RIAA’s highest certified country artist OF ALL TIME
Fans are the reason for this giant success. Even RIAA CEO Mitch Glazier said that Wallen is “reshaping modern music” because of his fans. They do not care about what people in offices say. Many fans say that they listen to his songs every single day. His connection with his listeners is more profound than any award show.
Wallen is winning on the charts, but the industry leaders often treat him like an outsider. Many major award shows stopped inviting him after his offensive video surfaced in 2021. Even though the fans stayed, the gatekeepers kept their distance. He didn’t even attend the 2025 CMA and didn’t submit his album for the 2026 Grammy.
