1 million records isn't diamond.
Crack the Sky was correct. Lionel Richie's Can't Slow Down was certified 10 times platinum, which became the diamond award in 1999, back in 1985. Although for some reason, I don't think he was the first artist to receive an actual diamond award.

Vernon Dalhart's "Wreck of the Old 97" (Victor 19427) was a documented million-seller, with 1925-1934 sales of 1,085,985 copies logged in the Victor files (Jack Palmer, Vernon Dalhart: First Star of Country Music, Mainspring Press, 2005, in press), although it must be noted that is a combined total for two different, but identically numbered, records—the 1924 acoustic original and the later electric remake. Despite the existence of such reliable data, several pop-culture writers have claimed sales of up to five million copies for this number, with (of course) no source citation for their grossly inflated claims.
