  • The 6 RIAA Diamond Singles: Eminem, Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber and More

    "Radioactive" by Imagine Dragons joined an elite company today, becoming only the sixth song in history to attain diamond status from the Recording Industry Association of America, meaning that it's moved the equivalent of 10 million units in sales, or 10-times platinum status.

It has come under fire over the past decade stemming from its treatment and pay of employees. It has largely ignored those pleas, but signs are that the company is changing.

The program is called Wal-Mart radio, which would be played to all U.S.
