Awards
Diamond Award
The First-Ever "Diamond Award" was presented at a star-studded ceremony March 16th in honor of the top-selling sound recordings of all time and raised the standard of excellence in record sales. The event was held at New York City's Roseland Ballroom. As the next achievement in the music industry, the Diamond Award recognizes U.S. sales of an astonishing 10 million units for a single title. Until now, the RIAA has only presented record sales awards for Gold (500,000 units), Platinum (1 million units) and Multi-PlatinumŽ (2 million or more units). The Diamond Award was bestowed for the first time by the RIAA to the biggest names in the music industry, a "Diamond mine" of musical talent -- 46 recording artists representing 62 titles.
Artists from every genre of music were on hand at Roseland to accept their Diamond Awards including Metallica for their "Black Album". James Hetfield thanked producer Bob Rock "for making the big noises extra big." (Source: The Recording Industry Association of America)
