The 2003 World Music Awards (15th annual World Music Awards) were held on 12 October 2003 in Monaco. The evening was hosted by Vivica A. Fox, Rupert Everett, and Anna Kournikova. Awards were given based on worldwide sales figures for that year. The big winners of the night were 50 Cent, who took home four awards, and t.A.T.u. with three awards.
The Chopard Diamond Award (or simply the Diamond Award) is given by the World Music Awards to artists who have sold over 100 million albums during their career. This award is occasionally confused with the previously created RIAA certification of "Diamond", which represents the sale of over ten million copies of an album in the USA, and was created in 1999, whereas the Chopard Diamond award was created in 2001.
