Read that the RIAA is initiating a "Diamond" award for those albums certified 10 million or more sold. Currently eligible in the country category are...you guessed it...Brooks, Twain and Kenny Rogers. I remember when the term "platinum" came out and that was a major feat for a recording artist. Setting almost impossible standards by which an artist selling only 500,000 copies may be looked upon as a "failure"? Just wondering what implications this may have on the industry. Tera
