Alan Jackson Strikes More Gold And Platinum

08-11-2026

(MCA) Alan Jackson's career music sales have reached new heights as his recorded catalog has been certified by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for 85.5-million units sold in the U.S. alone.

Jackson was surprised with news of the milestone at his Last Call: One More for the Road - The Finale concert in June, a sold-out event witnessed by more than 80,000 people across Nashville. Backstage following the concert at the city's Nissan Stadium, the country music icon was presented with a massive plaque by the RIAA as part of the night's celebration.

"Alan Jackson has built a legacy through songs that have defined Country music for more than four decades, creating a lasting connection to generations of fans. We were honored to celebrate his impact on the music community, and his remarkable 85.5-million RIAA certifications," says RIAA SVP Artist & Industry Relations Jackie Jones, who was joined at the event by RIAA Chief Policy Officer Morna Willens.

The achievement represents decades of hit singles, albums and music video releases...a tally that includes eight multi-platinum, seven platinum, and three gold albums...nine multi-platinum, platinum and gold singles...and more. The certifications run the entire breadth of Jackson's career - from his first (in 1990 for his debut album, Here In the Real World) to his most-recent (for his single, "The Older I Get," and additional multi-platinum album milestones).

The plaque presented to Alan is now on display at Alan Jackson's Silverbelly Whiskey Distillery and Museum, a new dual-themed facility in downtown Nashville that immerses visitors in Jackson's storied career, celebrating his music that's become part of the soundtrack of their lives...while also quenching their honky-tonk tastes with his Silverbelly Whiskey in an interactive setting.

The news of Jackson's 85.5-million career certified units capped an incredible evening on June 27, 2026 as the Country Music Hall of Fame member marked the end of his touring career by headlining an all-star concert celebrating the many miles he's traveled...and the many lives he's touched with his music and songwriting. The event - and particularly his performance - will provide the basis for an NBC TV special, Alan Jackson: The Last Show, in December....and for a new album, Last Call: One More for the Road - The Finale (Live from Nashville), which is already available for pre-order.

The multi-platinum appeal of Jackson's music remains evident. In just two days following the landmark concert, his discography combined for over 8.1-million streams, according to Luminate - a 32% gain over the same period a week earlier, with some songs rising as much as 79%...let alone the streams that have followed as audiences continue to flock to his music. The superstar's latest release - dedicated to his wife and high-school sweetheart, Denise - is this summer's remake of Orleans' "Still the One," a pop hit from 50 years ago when the pair started dating.
