Elvis' Gold & Platinum Record Awards


With 110 titles of albums and singles certified as either gold, platinum or multi-platinum, Elvis stands at number one on the list of certifications, with more than twice as many certifications as any of the nearest contenders. The Beatles come in at number two with 41 titles followed by the Rolling Stones with 39 Barbara Streisand with 37 and Elton John with 37.

You should note that the 110 is the number of titles. One award was presented for each title, whether it was gold, platinum, or multi-platinum. Multi status is indicated on the engraved idenification plate on each award. Now think of this: any platinum album or any platinum single has to have achieved gold status twice to go platinum, and some of these titles are multi-platinum. So if Elvis were given separate awards to reflect two golds for each platinum, and two separate platinum for each time a platinum went platinum again, there would be 162 more awards for a total of 272!!!
