I knew Madonna's first Greatest Hits album went Diamond, but I didn't know she had another. Celine had Let's Talk About Love, and I'm sure that another one of her albums did (I don't know which one though). Michael Jackson is close -- 29 million Thriller, 9 million Bad (and this has been at this level for quite a while now).

The Eagles may have done it too, but they and/or their record label find ways to greatly inflate their certification numbers compared to actual sales on multiple if not most of their albums. So even if the Eagles do have two Diamond albums, I'd say we need to put an asterisk by their name.

Edit -- Someone above said Britney and Whitney. That is correct, but is Whitney counting The Bodyguard Soundtrack, or did her first two albums go Diamond in addition to The Bodyguard? The Beatles are on that list too, as Sgt. Peppers Hearts Club Band and #1 hits are both Diamond (and I'm sure they have others). I think Aerosmith has a Diamond and an 8 million seller, so they're close too. How about U2?

Whitney's second album went 9x Platinum. I feel it will eventually be certified Diamond just like Michael Jackson's Bad.

Most sources to credit Whitney for The Bodyguard Soundtrack and rightfully so.

As predicted by many, the predictions continue to keep rising throughout the week. I think she might sneak beyond 1.1 million at this point. The 7 million total for this year is absolutely ludicrous.

I don't know. She'll be at around 4.5 million after this week and another 1 million selling week around Christmas would put her at 5.5 million. I think her selling 300-500k in the other weeks is possible.

Ill still say 6.5 million to be safe. But still.

Madonna's 'Immaculate Collection' and 'Like A Virgin' are certified Diamond. Céline indeed has two Diamond albums: 'Falling Into You' and 'Let's Talk About Love'.

Oh, I definitely believe she can reach it. I meant it in a way that it is truly unbelievable and close to laughable how easily she seems to be pulling it off.

It would be cool when RITD and SLY are both certified Diamond. She'd be the only female with diamond/10x Platinum albums and singles (and DVD).

Not her about to outsell Taylor's HUGE, unbelievable, mind boggling first week in her second week.

Sadly, while BB gives Whitney credit for Bodyguard now, they hadn't yet at the 1993 BBMAs. Otherwise she wouldn't have lost Top Artist and Top Album to Garth Brooks. I remember there being complaints (including mine, even though I didn't hate Garth yet in 1993) about BB's decision not to credit Whitney for Bodyguard at the time following the awards, so I guess Billboard finally gave into the reality that The Bodyguard Soundtrack WAS, IS and WILL ALWAYS BE Whitney's album.

Also, has Mariah reached Diamond with two CDs? I know there's been suspicion that Sony quit certifying her albums with them when she changed labels, so she is likely at Diamond with two of her albums even if they haven't been certified as such.
