About The Record:

diana by Diana Ross, is the biggest-selling studio album of Ross's career, selling nine million copies worldwide and spawning four international hit singles, including the US and International number 1 hit Upside Down. The album spent 17 weeks at the top of Billboard's R&B/Dance chart. Much like her previous studio album, The Boss, Diana gave her another No. 1 Dance album. Reaching number two on the Billboard 200 chart and number one on the Billboard Soul Albums Chart for 8 consecutive weeks, as well as yielding two top 10 singles on the Billboard Hot 100, including the number-one single Upside Down, the album would sell over one million copies in the United States and be certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. In the UK it went Gold and spun off three successful singles; Upside Down (No. 2), My Old Piano (No. 5) and I'm Coming Out (No. 13). A fourth single, Tenderness, was also released in certain territories, reaching the top 40 in the Netherlands. I'm Coming Out has become an obvious anthem for the LGBT movement, as Diana has become one of its greatest icons. Some thirty years after its release Diana remains Ross's best-selling studio album to date having sold a total of over 10 million copies worldwide.
