The Recording Industry Assn. added up all the certifications that it awarded from 2000 through 2009, not just for albums, but for all the music configurations that they track-albums, digital songs, master ringtones and music videos. The Washington, D.C.-based organization gave an artist credit for one &#8220;unit&#8221; when a title went gold, a second when it went platinum, a third when it went double-platinum, and so on. The RIAA counted only titles that were released from 2000 to 2009, so catalog product didn&#8217;t affect the rankings. Beyonce came out on top for the decade with 64 certifications. Eagles were the top group for the decade, with 48.
