Eagles' 'Greatest Hits' Becomes First Quadruple Diamond Certified Album In RIAA History

The Eagles have made music history as Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975 just became the first album certified quadruple diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America. The milestone represents 40 million units sold since the collection's 1976 release, making it the RIAA's biggest album of all-time based on U.S. sales and streams. The compilation spent five weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and logged a total of 514 weeks on the chart. The RIAA also upgraded the band's iconic 1976 studio album, Hotel California, to 28-times platinum in recognition of over 28 million units sold, ranking it third all-time behind Michael Jackson's landmark 1982 album, Thriller, at 34-times platinum. To mark the 50th anniversary of Their Greatest Hits on February 17th, a crystal-clear 180-gram vinyl edition will be released at Eagles.com. The band continues their record-breaking Sphere residency with a series of shows scheduled through March.
