The [[RIAA]] has certified his recordings at a combined (128× [[RIAA certification|platinum]]), denoting roughly 113 million United States shipments.<ref>{{cite web |title=RIAA.com |url=https://www.riaa.com/goldandplatinumdata.php?table=SEARCH_RESULTS |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070626051113/http://www.riaa.com/goldandplatinumdata.php?table=SEARCH_RESULTS |archive-date=26 June 2007 |access-date=1 February 2011 |publisher=RIAA.com}}</ref>

Other artists that experienced success during this time included [[Clint Black]], [[Sammy Kershaw]], [[Aaron Tippin]], [[Travis Tritt]], [[Suzy Bogguss]], [[Alan Jackson]], [[Lorrie Morgan]] and the newly formed duo of [[Brooks & Dunn]]. [[George Strait]], whose career began in the 1980s, also continued to have widespread success in this decade and beyond. Female artists such as [[Reba McEntire]], [[Faith Hill]], [[Martina McBride]], [[Deana Carter]], [[LeAnn Rimes]] and [[Mary Chapin Carpenter]] all released platinum-selling albums in the 1990s. Rimes, a teenager at the time, spawned a "teen movement" in country music; with fellow teen artists [[Lila McCann]], [[Jessica Andrews]], [[Billy Gillman]], and others following suit; a feat that hasn't been duplicated since [[Tanya Tucker]] and [[Marie Osmond]] in the early 1970s. The [[Dixie Chicks]] became one of the most popular country bands in the 1990s and early 2000s. Their 1998 debut album ''[[Wide Open Spaces (album)|Wide Open Spaces]]'' went on to become certified 12× platinum, while their 1999 album ''[[Fly (Dixie Chicks album)|Fly]]'' went on to become 10× platinum.
