I think it's cool that Human Clay is heading for diamond certification.  Only 81 albums have achieved this plateau.  Here's a copy of the press release:

WIND-UP RECORDS ANNOUNCES RELEASE DATE OF NOVEMBER 20, 2001 FOR NEXT CREED RECORDING

HUMAN CLAY ALBUM NEARS DIAMOND CERTIFICATION FOR SALES OF TEN MILLION COPIES

New York --- Wind-up Records is pleased to announce the third studio recording from Creed will be released on November 20, 2001. The band will enter the studio in early-July with John Kurzweg once again producing. Guitarist Mark Tremonti mentioned, "We are very excited about the new material and going back into the studio with Kurzweg. The band can't wait to return to the road to play the new songs live for our fans."

The third release follows an amazing four years for Creed. The band has sold in excess of sixteen million albums in the U.S., received a Grammy, and performed for more than one million fans in the year 2000. Most importantly, they have built a legion of fans the old-fashioned way - through hard work and the offering of great songs that have struck a chord among millions.

Creed's 1999 Wind-up Records' release Human Clay is approaching Diamond certification by the R.I.A.A. for sales of ten million copies. This would mark the 82nd time a record has crossed this monumental U.S. sales threshold in history. The band's debut album My Own Prison has now sold over five million copies domestically.
