Her additional certifications include a multi-platinum single for "You Belong With Me," which reached 4 million downloads, as well as "Ours," which earned gold for 500,000 downloads.

Platinum singles also went to Luke Bryan's "Do I," Lady Antebellum's "Just a Kiss," Jerrod Niemann's "Lover Lover" and Blake Shelton's "God Gave Me You."

In addition, gold singles were awarded to Jason Aldean's "Tattoos on This Town," The Band Perry's "All Your Life," Dierks Bentley's "Am I the Only One," Bryan's "Don't Want This Night to End," Brantley Gilbert's "Country Music Be Country Wide," Lady Antebellum's "We Owned the Night" and Tim McGraw's "Felt Good on My Lips."

Johnny Cash's Best of Johnny Cash, released by Curb Records in 1991, arrived at gold status more than two decades after its release.

Beyond country music, Adele's 21 continues to soar with shipments of 6 million units. Meanwhile, Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band's Greatest Hits from 1994 rises to 9 million units, partially due to its recent availability at iTunes. The band's Greatest Hits 2 from 2003 also climbed to platinum status.
