i respect your opinion and we can argue until the cows come home, so i'll just say this and be done.

RECORD BREAKING and GROUNDBREAKING are not synonymous. an album can be groundbreaking that is not recordbreaking and a record-breaking album doesn't have to be groundbreaking.

yes diamond-selling records are big feats, but during 1998-2004, there were a number of artists who achieved such feat.
