The RECORDING INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA has released the "#RIAAClassOf2022" list of the 39 artists who earned their first Gold, Platinum, or Diamond certifications in 2022. The group released 41 singles reaching Gold or Platinum in the year.
A total of 16 Pop singles, 10 from the R&B/Hip-Hop genre, eight from Country, four from Alternative and one each from Americana/Folk, Christian/Gospel and Dance/Electronic music were added to the Gold and Platinum program. Country artist BAILEY ZIMMERMAN produced two of the seven Platinum singles with "Rock And A Hard Place" and "Fall In Love."
RIAA COO MICHELE BALLANTYNE said, “Whenever a Gold, Platinum or Diamond certification is earned, it represents massive engagement from an artist's fans, and a remarkable achievement by the artist, their creative teams, and their record label. And when it is your very first RIAA award, it's even more special. We are so encouraged by the success of this #RIAAClassOf 2022 and are honored to help celebrate their immense talents.”
