Country Top Sellers of the Last Decade

George Strait - check!
Shania Twain - check!
Taylor Swift - check!

The Recording Industry Association of America has listed the gold and platinum certifications from 2000 - 2009 and those three country stars do very well.

George has the most album certifications for solo male artists with 29.

Taylor has the most digital song certifications for a female solo artist with 25.

Shania Twain has the highest-certified album of any solo female artist for her 2002 CD "UP!" which was 11-times platinum. "Come On Over" doesn't count as it came out before 2000.


Who has the most total certifications - albums, digital songs, master ringtones, and music videos?
Beyonce = 64
The Eagles = 48
Michael Jackson = 44
