Do you think ANY musician will ever reach Diamond status again?

In these days of downloading I dont think ANY muscian will ever reach Diamond status(10 million albums sold). I think N Sync was the last group to reach Diamond, suprisingly when downloading was getting popular. You're big time now just for reaching platinum. Back in like 98 rappers like Mobb Deep and Nore were reaching platinum easy. If Mariah couldn't reach diamond I dont think anyone can.

pretty much, shania twain has 3 diamond albums under her belt so it'll be a country artist to probably do it again.

thats true but i doubt pac comin back will make niccaz stop pirating...pac cant really go out and smack all bootleggers in the face one by one...

08-04-2006, 06:25 PM

right but look at what his greatest hits did. .it went diamond and almost every track on there was on a previous cd. .people could have just listened to previous cds but since its pac they went out and bought it cuz people love him so much. . i know a bunch of people that have all of pacs cds the real version just because they have so much love for dude. . its almost homo but its what happens when you throw 2pac into it

08-04-2006, 07:02 PM
