I subscribed to a year of Time Magazine last year and I'm still catching up on it. Sometime last spring there was a short column on Barbra Streisand being the Platinum album queen, the woman with the most platinum albums in history with 31. Reba McEntire has 19. She's also only artist to have at least one top album in six consecutive decades. The column went on to state that “Cher holds the same distinction, but for singles rather than albums.” There are men with more platinum albums than Streisand: George Strait (33), The Beatles (42), Elvis Presley (52).
Cher is in good company with this list.
Cher having only four platinum albums in the U.S. is quite bizarre. They need to re-certify all of her discography ASAP!
Agreed.
What I do not understand for the life of me – where is the 50th Anniversary Lifetime Achievement Award for Cher at this year’s Grammy’s? It just blows me away….
