Off The Wall/Bad - Diamond Status?

[Psychoniff]

Will OTW and Bad ever reach diamond status in sells?

Actually I think Bad already achieved it, it only needs to be certified.

What's the difference?

The record company has to actively take action to get it certificated. It doesn't happen automatically when reaching certain sale numbers.

Certifications don't happen automatically. Record companies have to ask and, I think, pay for them.
