Shania Twain Earns Decade’s Top RIAA Certifications

As judges for the next season of ‘America Idol’ are still being decided, another name is being thrown into the bunch, a country name.

Shania Twain is rumored to be on the list behind Jennifer Lopez as there appears to be some difficulty in securing a deal with Lopez, reports TMZ.
Last season on Idol, Twain served as a mentor and guest judge and was reportedly a hit with fans. So, if no deal is settled on another judge, she may be first in line to fill in one of the missing spots.
George Strait, Taylor Swift and Shania Twain have earned top certifications from the RIAA for music released between 2000 and 2009. Strait ranked first for the most gold and platinum certifications with a total of 29. Swift topped the list of the most digital song certifications with a total of 25. Her "Love Story" also tied with Lady Gaga's "Just Dance" for highest-certified digital song by a female artist. It reached quadruple platinum for 4 million paid downloads. Twain's 2002 album, Up!, was the highest-certified album by a female artist at 11-times platinum, signifying 11 million units shipped. In addition, the Eagles were recognized for having the most total certifications, with 48, including cumulative album, digital song, master ringtone and music video certifications.
