\n\tThe Eagles<\/a> continue to fly high, as Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975 becomes the first album to be certified quadruple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America, marking 40 million units moved since the set\u2019s 1976 release and remaining the RIAA<\/a>\u2018s biggest album in terms of U.S. sales and streams.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe greatest-hits set \u2014 which contains songs by the band\u2019s original lineup of Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner as well as 1974 addition Don Felder across their first four albums \u2014 spent five weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200<\/a> in 1976 and has spent a whopping 514 weeks overall on the all-genre albums chart. The track list includes \u201cTake It Easy\u201d (from 1972\u2019s Eagles), the title track from 1973\u2019s Desperado, \u201cTake It to the Limit\u201d (from 1975\u2019s One of These Nights), and the group\u2019s first-ever Billboard Hot 100<\/a> No. 1 hit \u201cBest of My Love\u201d (from 1974\u2019s On the Border).<\/p>\n

\n\tIn addition to the Greatest Hits certification, Eagles\u2019 1976 album Hotel California has been upgraded to 28 times platinum, making it the RIAA\u2019s third-biggest album ever by U.S. sales and streams at 28 million units. (Michael Jackson\u2019s Thriller sits between the two Eagles projects as RIAA\u2019s second-biggest album, at 34 times platinum.) Hotel California spent eight weeks atop the Billboard 200 in 1977 and includes the Hot 100-topping title track.<\/p>\n

\n\tNext up for the Eagles: Henley, Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmit, along with Vince Gill and Glenn\u2019s son Deacon Frey, return to their Sphere residency<\/a> on Friday night for 12 more dates at the Las Vegas venue. The new run of dates will extend their record as the act with the most dates ever played at Sphere, with 56 announced concerts total. They have dates scheduled through the end of March.<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter that, they\u2019ll make their debut at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, going down April 23-May 3, as a headliner for weekend 2.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe RIAA gives quadruple diamond certification to artists whose albums have moved 40 million units. According to the RIAA, one equivalent album unit is equal to the sale of one physical album, 10 track downloads from the album, or 1,500 on-demand audio and\/or video streams from the album.<\/p>\n
