The Chopard Diamond World Music Award is a new award, given to artists who have sold over 100 million albums over the course of their careers.
The World Music Awards (founded in 1989) is an international awards show that annually honors recording artists based on their worldwide sales figures, which are provided by the various organisations including record companies and the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI).
According to the official World Music Awards website: "The World's best-selling recording-artists in the various categories are determined after a thorough research conducted by the organization on record certifications and record company sales figures" [3].

 Music
The life circumstances of the people listening to the music are an important part of the music itself.
The meaning of a certain piece of music is embedded in the past, and in the culture of the people listening to it.
The ethnography of music involves not only recording the actual music, but recording how it was made, how it affects people, and how it is used.

 LuaKa BoP: David Byrne
In my experience, the use of the term world music is a way of dismissing artists or their music as irrelevant to one’s own life.
The term is a catchall that commonly refers to non-Western music of any and all sorts, popular music, traditional music and even classical music.
When we talk about world music we find ourselves talking about 99 percent of the music on this planet.

In the New York Times last October, rock star David Byrne penned a feature titled 'Why I Hate World Music.' "In my experience, the use of the term world music is a way of dismissing artists or their music as irrelevant to one's own life," he avowed.
Ever since World Music emerged as a useful marketing concept back in 1987, conspiracy theorists have wasted energies on criticising it.
All of this was very far from the thoughts of those who instigated the short-term marketing plan that resulted in World Music becoming a 'genre'.
