Among the standout achievements, "Jolene" has been certified Diamond in both Canada and the Netherlands, while "9 to 5" has reached Diamond status in Canada; both tracks have also picked up Multi-Platinum certifications in several other markets. "I Will Always Love You" and "Islands in the Stream" likewise gained new Gold, Platinum and Multi-Platinum awards, and numerous albums, including various Greatest Hits compilations, earned Gold, Silver or Platinum certifications across territories such as the UK, Netherlands, Sweden and South Africa.
