MAIN Arrow to Art & Culture Art & ... Arrow to Hollywood Pop Culture Arrow to World Music Awards World Music Awards

World Music AwardsFounded in 1989, the World Music Awards recognizes the best selling musical artists worldwide.

This year, top music stars from around the globe gather in Monaco on November 9, 2008 for the 20th anniversary of the WMA's honoring the most popular artists with the longest track records of success in the industry.

The Diamond Award

The top accolade, the Diamond Award was created to honor the outstanding stars in the music industry who have sold more than 100 million albums during their career. Past recipients include Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Rod Stewart and Bon Jovi.

The Awards Worldwide Reach

Today, the show continues to enjoy the patronage of Prince Albert of Monaco, who uses the ceremony to raise awarness and money to help Third World nations. All proceeds of the show continue to fund the Monaco Aide and Presence Foundation, which assists many underdeveloped regions of Africa, Eastern Europe and Asia.

Monaco often has been the traditional host city, but the show has also traveled to other international hotspots including Las Vegas, Los Angeles and London.

Television Coverage

Owing to its worldwide appeal, the WMA ceremony is scheduled to be televised in 160 countries across the planet including the U.S., Canada, Europe, Australia, Japan and Southeast Asia, China, Africa and the Middle East.
