RIAA 8x Multi-Platinum LP award for Shania Twain's Come On Over album. This was the Canadian country-pop singer's third album released on Nov. 4, 1997. The album was certified 8x Multi-Platinum by the RIAA only a year later on Jan. 27, 1999, which this particular award celebrates.
The album spawned three Billboard Country chart #1 singles: "You're Still the One", "That Don't Impress Me Much" and "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!" It also achieved some impressive feats, becoming (as of this writing) the best-selling studio album by any female act and the best-selling album by a Canadian. It is also the eighth best-selling album in the U.S., with over 20 million copies sold by 2004, making it a rare double Diamond sales award winner. See image above for the RIAA sales certifications of this album through the years*.

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.
