A number of bands have one diamond-certified title, and even fewer have more than one. However, there is an elite group of rock bands with multiple diamond-certified studio albums.

The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has given out a number of diamond certifications to various albums that have sold at least 10 million units. Several of those albums happen to be greatest hits/best-of compilations. Thanks to these releases, this has led to a variety of bands have more than one diamond-certified title.

Believe it or not, there are only five rock bands to have more than one diamond-certified studio albums. That's right, only five.
