Starting his career with a standard flurry of singles, Mathis was far more popular as an album artist, with several dozen of his albums receiving gold and platinum status and seventy-three making the Billboard charts to date. Mathis has sold more than 350 million records and albums.<ref>[http://www.riaa.com/goldandplatinumdata.php?resultpage=1&table=tblTopArt&action= RIAA: Gold & Platinum]</ref>
