This is a list compiling the highest certified digital singles in the United States, all of which have reached Diamond status and are kept track of by the Recording Industry Association of America.[1] RIAA Certifications depend on how many units a single has received. A single being streamed 150 times equals one unit.
Digital singles are certified:
- 500,000 units = Gold status
- 1,000,000 units = Platinum status
- 2,000,000+ units = Multi-Platinum status
- 10,000,000 units = Diamond status
- 20,000,000+ units = Multi-Diamond status
