It’s still a whopping 92 albums, though, ranging nearly 60 years back to Elvis Presley’s Elvis’ Christmas Album. To honor the exclusive club that Adele joined with her latest sales achievement, we’ve ranked every one of the RIAA-certified diamond albums. Adele's '25' Hits Diamond Status in Less Than a Year
