thank you *thank you


By the way, sorry if was harsh in anyway. Information on the World music awards are very hard to find. After checking out their official website, it seems as if they do not have a database or anything in which to find winners. However, I will keep checking for you so if you return to your talk page, I might be able to give you some info or inform you that I do not have any. If I havent contacted you, just buzz me at my talk page. By the way, sorry if was harsh in anyway. Information on the World music awards are very hard to find.

That it was never given to Mariah, but has been offered to madonna who so far has refused it? Don't believe it ladies and gents?

:: Also Michael Jackson did get a best-selling artist ever award, but not by the WMA, by the MJ Awards. Your link nr 7 confirms it.

*You can believe what you want to believe but at the end of the day, the World Music Awards named her the biggest selling female artist of all time.

OMG i just read you argument STREET WALKER and is that why the honor Mariah Carey, because Prince Albert is a fan. That is extremley biased and unfair. Don't trust this award show, go by the Grammys!

== I don't think the World Music Awards are 100% accurate==

I don't believe the artists that they honor is such a high position, really deserve to be given such a crown. Yes, they deserve recognition but not titles such as "BEST SELLING ARTIST OF ALL TIME". I find it hard to swallow that Michael Jackson (Yes, I understand he is MASSIVE) can wear this crown over Elvis Presley and same for Mariah Carey (Big again) I can't see on earth how she was given the crown over Madonna or Celion Dion. Another unusual thing is the fact that if you go by the offical site and use it to find how to contact the World Music Awards, most of the address that come up are hotmail adresses???? So unprofessional!

I trust much more prestigous music associations and especially the one and only Grammys. Plus I've never heard of the World Music Awards, until I search for a list of music awards shows.

:Oh don't worry you are not alone in this thinking. Beside the fact that it's stupid to award the best selling (aren't sales enough for them?), the criteria is ludicrous to say the least, not to mention the "best selling of all time". There are several artists that have never been audited by the association and therefore never sold anything according to them, or very little. For example many know that Motown Records' founder Berry Gordy refused to have the records audited and therefore for example Diana Ross or Diana Ross and The Supremes are never mentioned officially when talking about sales, but we all know they sold MUCH MUCH more than Destiny's Child, whose "Best Selling group of all time" award is a pure fantasy. And the fact that you cannot trace back or find historic information about this so-called show should be a clue.
Then, if you take into consideration the fact that most companies report "sales" as units shipped, which is a totally different thing.......... Such an award should be banned until you can actually trust the sources. For example, even the most selling artist of all time (Beatles or Elvis) are debated over, Madonna as well, ABBA ...you name it. ] 13:53, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Chopard Diamond Award

Chopard Diamond Award why Michael Jackson didn't receive this award although he sold over 100 million copies?

They only give out one per year. I suspect that soon he will recieve this award. Perhaps even at the next WMA's. Street walker 11:16, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
They only give prizes to artists that can attend the show.
