1989 is definitely diamond by now but it won't be official until that ugly genocide funding **** certifies it 

[littlebodybigheart]

1989 and fearless

[Princedele25]

Whew Queen of Pop

[Movimento Perpétuo]

Britney  

[ariananext]

it's ridiculous how some artists were once able to sell 20 million copies pure of something.. that is HUGE x10

[BlackAura]

How close is The Fame from getting Diamond ? Is it even close ?

[Ribs]

1989 is already diamond (they dont certificate it so we can SUFFER) so 2 diamond albums for Taylor

it's certifications got split up into The Fame (6x platinum) and The Fame Monster (5x platinum)

[GwennyGwenGwen]

I'd argue that if The Bodyguard is on there (not purely a female album, but a female lead album), then so should Tragic Kingdom by No Doubt.

I believe The Fame alone sold around 4.5M+ copies, plus Just Dance and Poker Face have sold around 7.5M each, which means another 1.5 SEA from these two songs alone, right ? I'm getting confused

We need Sony to ship 500K copies of Debut so Mariah can snatch that third Diamond 

 

Merry Christmas will likely be her third, though. It’s undoubtedly going to get there in a few years with the way it’s been selling each year.

They aren’t the same album though 

[Death On Two Legs]

The Chicks. Only the best selling female Country trio of all time.

1989 is already eligible but I hope her old label isn't being petty and refusing to upgrade it.

Merry Christmas will he her last. Her self titled isn't even at the halfway mark

Wait at Shania being one of the most massive artists I've ever seen, damn  

[prunejuicemontes]

Mariah Carey and Madonna need to snatch their 3rd. Legends.

[Erotic]

Come On Over is THAT album, literally every song sounds like a pop/country cross over SMASH 

[Erotic]

And a shame about The Fame/Monster tbh
