I feel like artists who go diamond should get some sort of NBA championship type ring.. what an achievement
Off The Wall was certified 8x plat 11 years ago, I‘m sure in the next 5 years it’s gonna get that diamond certification.
so before his death? he def got 3 if so..

Over a month after his death. But the RIAA is a thing of the past anyway, I personally don’t care about certifications that have to be bought by the artist/label/estate.

Funny enough Usher has a NBA ring as a minority owner of the Cavs lol He's the only singer to have one, so idk if that counts as what you're thinking.
I agree though. I personally see the RIAA Diamond plaque they receive as the equivalent to a championship ring or Super Bowl trophy, but maybe there should be a club or something? Idc what they get, they all should be celebrated more than most of them are right now. People focus on "well that album came out 25 years ago" instead of "that album went freaking DIAMOND and we're still talking about it 25 years later"
I think she's the 3rd artist to have 3 diamond album. Garth Brooks has the most at 7 and Whitney has tied Shania Twain for most diamond albums by a female artist with 3.
And they pointed it out cuz it's rare to go diamond in the first place, but EXTREMELY RARE for a black artist to go diamond once, let alone THREE TIMES
Nonsense
Bob Marley's album is 15x Platinum in the US. Why did they leave that out in the article

You're right. On Wikipedia it says his compilation album Legend sold 11 million in the US and it's certified 15x platinum, way past Diamond
