GoneHome Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Michael Jackson's Thriller has become the first album certified 33x Diamond for United States sales and streams. Thinking about how to redecorate the offices to fit the new artwork are, from left, Sony Music CEO Doug Morris, Columbia Records Chairman & CEO Rob Stringer, Estate Co-Executor John Branca, Commercial Music Group President Richard Story, Epic RecordsChairman & CEO L.A. Reid and the Jackson Estate’s Karen Langford. Alternative fact: Doug Morris scored higher than Rob Stringer at Sony’s annual “Moonwalk” competition. http://hitsdailydouble.com/news&id=304993 Dang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geddymonster Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 33 times diamond would be 330,000,000. I think they meant 33 times multi-platinum. Congratulations, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParallelLines Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) Absolutely incredible. P.S. Is there any way to see a breakdown of Prince's album sales particularly "1999; Purple Rain; Parade etc."?

Brando Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 15 minutes ago, Johnny said: We both know she'll get there too. No, because Thriller was 2x Diamond by the end of 84. 21 is only Diamond . There's no way it will sell 20 million more copies past its prime run.
