Perhaps all or most of the following artists have sources claiming 75, 100 and above. I didn't check yet.

Others with no certs found, but with high-to-mid reliable sources

Notes

[edit]

Some artists have certifications in Spain (I didn't check this country, perhaps this favored many Latin/Italian artists). Same with other databases.

I didn't check European 1986 and 1987 certifications supplied by Music & Media, but surely, there is some artists listed here in that list.

Some databases have archived urls, like Argentina (CAPIF) that I didn't check all of them

Many artists here, (or even others non-included) have reliable sources from WP:NEWSORG in their region/country, but aren't English sources. At least by the moment, I've included only those with English sources.
