Chris Stapleton has reached a historic new peak as his modern classic ‘Tennessee Whiskey' has officially been certified RIAA Double Diamond, surpassing 20 million units sold. The milestone makes it the first country song ever to achieve Double Diamond status, underscoring the track’s enduring cultural impact and Stapleton’s rare ability to connect across generations and genres.
RIAA Chairman and CEO Mitch Glazier praised the achievement, noting that Stapleton’s unmistakable vocal grit and masterful storytelling have fueled chart dominance, major award wins, and an unparalleled bond with listeners. With ‘Tennessee Whiskey' now standing alone in country music history, the song marks yet another defining moment in a career built on authenticity, soul, and timeless songwriting.
The achievement arrives as Stapleton continues to cement his place as one of the most powerful live performers of his era. His All-American Road Show will roll on through the fall, bringing stadium dates to major cities including Nashville, Detroit, Atlanta, Toronto, and Boston. Tickets for the upcoming run go on sale Friday, January 16 at 10:00am local time, with full tour details available via Stapleton’s official website.
