Here's a list of every RIAA-certified Double Diamond album. We show the release date, record label, producer(s), Billboard 200 peak and more.

Green Day celebrated a major career milestone on Sept. 16, when their 1994 album Dookie was certified Double Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Only one album was certified gold that year (signifying $1 million in manufacturer’s dollar volume; the criteria later changed) – the soundtrack to the film adaptation of Rodgers & Hammerstein ’s stage musical Oklahoma!, starring Gordon MacRae and Shirley Jones. The band won a second Grammy that year, best arrangement for voices for the tender “New Kid in Town.” Both of these singles topped the Hot 100, making Hotel California the only Eagles studio album to spawn multiple No.
