Chopard Diamond Award
The Chopard Diamond Award (or simply the Diamond Award) was given by the World Music Awards to artists who had sold over 100 million albums during their career. This award was occasionally confused with the previously created RIAA certification of "Diamond", which represents the sale of over ten million copies of an album in the USA and was created in 1999, whereas the Chopard Diamond award was created in 2001.
