About this quiz
The Recording Industry Association of America certifies records by units, and its Diamond Awards tally ranks the highest certified titles of all, albums and singles side by side.
- The Eagles hold first and third place with a greatest hits album and Hotel California.
- Garth Brooks and Journey each have 2 entries in the 30.
- The rows are answered one at a time, so a self titled album is never ambiguous: use Next to skip.
