Beyoncé just added another major accolade to her legendary career.
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) announced on Tuesday that the 43-year-old icon now holds the record for the most certified titles for a female artist of all time, with a total of 103 titles across her celebrated discography.
RIAA President & COO Michele Ballantyne praised Beyoncé’s historic achievement, saying, “We are so excited to recognize the incredible talent, hard work, and creative spirit reflected across diverse genres. Beyoncé’s iconic catalogue has earned the achievement of most certified titles for a female artist in RIAA’s history. Congratulations on this crowning milestone, Beyoncé, Parkwood Entertainment, Columbia Records — and we see you, BeyHive, streaming on repeat!”
Beyoncé’s record-setting total includes hits from her eight solo studio albums, as well as Homecoming: The Live Album and The Lion King: The Gift. Fan-favorite singles like “Halo” and “Single Ladies”, both certified 11x platinum, highlight her impact. Notably, songs and albums from Beyoncé’s time with Destiny’s Child were not included in the tally, making this achievement strictly focused on her solo career.

The nominations include major categories such as Record of the Year, Album of the Year, and Best Country Album, further showcasing Beyoncé’s ability to transcend genres and set new standards in music.
