Drake has reached his 16th diamond certification with the RIAA after his 2011 track “Marvin’s Room” surpassed 10 million records sold, according to Chart Data. This milestone makes him the artist with the most diamond-certified songs in history.
From his second album, Take Care, “Marvin’s Room” is known for its intimacy and vulnerability. The song features shadowy production and sparse percussion that highlight Drake’s emotional delivery as he navigates a late-night call to an ex, expressing jealousy, regret, and longing.
The track balances desire and detachment, intimacy and isolation, turning private heartbreak into a shared experience. Lines like “I’m just saying you could do better” have become emblematic of unrequited love and emotional honesty.
More than a decade after its release, “Marvin’s Room” continues to resonate with fans, reflecting both Drake’s cultural influence and the enduring impact of his artistry in hip-hop and R&B.
