It seems it is. I now found this:

"Based on Joel Whitburn's Top Pop Albums 1955-1996 and subsequent RIAA certifications, these artists have the most gold and platinum albums (each album is counted only once even if the album was certified gold, platinum, and multi-platinum):

1. Elvis Presley (80)
2. Barbra Streisand (46) [the female with the most multi-platinum titles]
3. The Beatles (39)
4. The Rolling Stones (38)
5. Neil Diamond (37)
6. Elton John (32)
7. Kenny Rogers/First Edition (28)
8. Frank Sinatra(26)
9. Bob Dylan (28) [two with the Band]
10. Willie Nelson (24)
11. George Strait (24) [all 24 have gone gold and platinum]
12. Kiss (23)
13. Rush (22)
14. Alabama (22) "

I really wish I could find actual sales. Whitney/Celine/Mariah would be doing well there. I think I once saw Barbra listed after Mariah/ahead of Whitney and Celine in sales.
