Released on Mar. 12, 1990, the album was certified 2x Multi-Platinum by the RIAA a couple of months later on May 11 for two million copies sold.* Remember Sinead O'Connor (1966-2023) with this hard-to-find award.
O'Connor's second studio album contains "Nothing Compares 2 U", O'Connor's version of the Prince-penned song, which topped the charts in numerous countries. Other singles included "The Emperor's New Clothes" and "Three Babies". The album topped the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart, the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and many European country charts. It was also nominated for four Grammy awards and "Nothing Compares 2 U" won O'Connor the award for Best Alternative Music Performance, which she ended up refusing.

Notes on the condition of all vintage RIAA awards: Please do not buy this item if you want a brand new piece of memorabilia. These are historical artifacts from the year they were produced. As a result they may show signs of wear. Frankly, if you see a 20 to 50-year-old award purported to be in 100% perfect condition, it might be too good to be true. After all, an antique should have "good' wear. If not, you might want to question the piece.
As to where they came from, they could have been displayed in record label offices, recording studios, artist manager's offices, radio stations, private collector's homes and yes, of course, possibly the artist's or songwriter's home. Typically, we don't know all the places they may have been over the years other than what we've stated in the description.
Finally, a word on photos: Our photos are zoomable so you can get a very good look. Do let us know if you want photos of any other details on our pieces and we'll be happy to provide.
