I would believe it if someone said Dre without even seeing any numbers. Timbo had a run but Dre has probably had at least one platinum production. Every year from 88 right up to whenever Relapse was released

Platinum selling singles count as plaques also..timbo has worked with hella pop artists and pop artists sell hit singles..am I right or am I right?

It's closer if the singles count:

Promiscuous- 3X platinum
Say It Right- Platinum
SexyBack- 4X Platinum
What Goes Around- 2X Platinum
Summer Love- Platinum
The Way I Are- 3X Platinum
Apologize- 3X platinum
4 Minutes- 2X platinum
Suit & Tie- 2X Platinum

Alright, so I had some time to kill at work this morning and tried to work this out, may have missed a couple. But all albums Dre has produced or exec. produced, and singles he's produced.

Albums:
Eazy-Duz-It – 2x
Straight Outta Compton – 2x
100 Miles & Runnin’ – 1x
nikkaz4life – 1x
Noone Can Do It Better – 1x
The Chronic – 3x
Doggystyle – 4x
Above The Rime OST – 2x
Murder Was The Case OST – 2x
All Eyez On Me – 9x
The Firm – 1x
Presents: The Aftermath – 1x
Slim Shady LP – 5x
2001 – 6x
MMLP – 12x
Restless – 1x
Tha Last Meal – 2x
Up In Smoke Tour DVD – 6x
Devils Night – 2x
Eminem Show – 11x
Get Rich or Die Trying – 8x
Encore – 5x
The Documentary – 2x
The Massacre – 5x
Curtain Call: The Hits – 2x
Kingdom Come – 2x
Relapse – 2x
Recovery – 4x
GKMC – 1x

Singles:
G Thang – 1x
Dre Day - 1x
Gin n Juice – 1x
California Love – 2x
No Diggity – 1x
Poppin Them Thangs – 1x
Not Today – 1x
I Need A Doctor – 2x

In total that's 115 Plaques. Obviously he's never been a big sinles seller, but he comes from the era where people bought albums and not singles, also this doesn't count worldwide sales, only U.S. (In Da Club only went Gold in the U.S. but 7x Worldwide).

So I think it's safe to say Dre has got this.
