In case you don't know, a diamond disc is a certification disc to reward an artist. This is done when a single or album reaches a certain number of sales. It's the official organization itself that certifies the artists and checks the threshold.
The value of the latter can be influenced by two major factors: the record sales market and the criteria imposed by each country. As a result, the threshold can vary depending on the country and the fluctuation of music sales. However, there are four award categories: silver, gold, platinum and diamond.
In our case, it's the diamond disc, the highest award an artist can get. In France, the sales threshold for obtaining one is now up to 500,000.
There are a good number of celebrities, singers and musicians who have won a diamond disc since the award's inception, right up to the present day. But in this article, we're going to list the TOP 10 French artists who have reached the sales threshold for a diamond disc.
