The Eagles album Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975 just became the first album to be certified quadruple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America, marking 40 million units moved since the set’s 1976 release and remaining the RIAA’s biggest album in terms of U.S. sales and streams. And, as if that weren’t enough, the band’s 1976 album Hotel California has been upgraded to 28 times platinum, making it the RIAA’s third-biggest album ever by U.S. sales and streams at 28 million units! The album in-between those two? Michael Jackson’s Thriller is the second-biggest album, at 34 times platinum.
Congratulations to the Eagles! "Greatest Hits 1971–1975" is officially the first album ever to earn a RIAA 4x Diamond certification. 💎🎶 @Rhino_Records pic.twitter.com/BAfEtUVqrE
