HEYTRIPPSTERS okay first let me say if you hear noise it's okay there's nothing
wrong there are kids outside running screaming scoffing you know just in kids
so my mind may pick that up okay anyway I need help understanding something okay
and I have kept an eye on the numbers and I'm talking from you know back in
January until now and it still not making sense to me so I'm hoping that
you guys can help me understand this back in January of this year what's his
name lee Brice was presented while on stage in concert by the riaa he was
presented with a Diamond Award for his song which was recorded by Garth Brooks
more than a memory now we all know this off okay love this song the performance
that Garth gives of this song be it live or recorded oh my god the power behind
this song absolutely just oh my god the man blows me away it is unbelievable
but you know it is Garth so we kind of you know expect it I guess
alright here's what I don't understand I know that for something to go Diamond it
has to sell ten million copies okay here's what I don't understand the
album that that song is on that it was originally on was Garth Brooks is the
ultimate hit now pretty sure that's in the list of ones that Garth has had go
diamond okay but that's the album that went diamond not the actual song more
than a memory okay now in 2014 when he first went digital he released his
earlier catalog and when he did the re-release of Scarecrow included the
song which was not in the original release okay more than a memory okay so
there's two albums out there now that you can get that song on
my problem understanding this is the song itself has not sold 10 million
copies because Garth didn't release it as a single for the fans to buy so which
if he had we would have I mean it's that great but since he didn't release it as
a single that we could actually buy neither physically or digitally how did
that specific song sell 10 million copies and godiamond, yeh diamond because if
you don't release it for the fans to buy as a single how can one song sell 10
million copies and go diamond well you could say well maybe the album that was
on, the first one, the ultimate hits went Daimond and maybe that's why they gave it to him
but in that case all was it 34 songs on the ultimate hits would have to be
presented with a diamond award and that has not happened, and we have to know
that because if Garth had received 34 Diamond awards for singles we would
have heard about it okay so it can't be because the ultimate hit went diamond or
all 34 songs on the ultimate hits I think it's 34 anyway would have been
presented with plaques for you know diamond awards
and we know it's not because it was on scarecrow because scarecrow is not gone
diamond it's only sold 5 million copies and you have to sell 10 in order to go diamond
so how is more than a memory considered diamond when it was never released as an
individual song for us to buy so it couldn't have sold 10 million copies
itself because it was never released for us to buy, by itself
i don't understand. so I have no clue i honest to god I've kept an eye on the
numbers and the album it's on is the ultimate hits and the other album it's on is
scarecrow scarecrow is not diamond the ultimate hits isdiamond but like I said in
order for that to be the reason that more of the memory is diamond then every
song on the album would have to be presented as Diamond and be presented
with a diamond award because you can't just do it for the one and not do it for
the rest of them if that's why you're doing it because it's sold 10 million
copies I don't know okay if somebody ever could explain this to me I would really
really appreciate it i seriously have no clue I mean if you don't release
it for the fans to buy how did it sell 10 million copies and go diamond. that's
just, i'm confused ,okay if somebody could just explain it to me I will love you
okay and I will thank you, but that is going to do it for now I hope somebody
out there can help me this is ICEPETS QUEEN and I am tripping out
