It's only July 15th, two weeks after the release of his new album "Wayah" but it looks like Amr Diab has already become 2009's top-selling artist in the middle east.
Naturally, since his the release, Diab record sales have skyrocketed, and according to Virgin Megastore, the album sold more than 2 million CDs globally, 2.160.500 CDs to be accurate, and that doesn't include downloads ofcourse.
It's been exactly a week since Amr Diab launched his new album "Wayah" and the sales are skyrocketing by the day registering a whopping 3 million copies sold so far.
That's higher than the sales' number of "Habibi ya nor el ein" for which Amr won his first World Music Award for best-selling album in the middle-east.Right on!!

Seems like Amr Diab is more interested in cash than in the music he makes lately.
We've reported a year ago that Amr has quit Rotana to join GoodNews 4 Music but this turned out to be nothing but a rumor.He's just renewed his contract with Alwaleed company!!
Sadly for us fans, we won't be getting any good music from Amr untill he decides to lower his expectations from production companies.
There's a song of Amr diab's "Tamally Maak" album that I listened to for the first time last week and I just had to share it with my dear readers because I think it's one of the great songs that Amr's made.
The song is called "Sineen" and it has that "Amr Diab" touch to it,very nice.
Megastar Amr Diab will be giving a concert in Rabat,Morocco NEXT WEEK at the Mawazine festival, and I am so there!
The concert will take place on wednesday, May 21st.Tickets will be on sale in Megarama and Maroc Telecom agency in the Twin Center, Casablanca, and that's from 17 to 23rd of this month.
Committees in Egypt are trying to nominate Egyptian singer Amr Diab as a good will ambassador to the United Nations.
Now I love Amr Diab's music and all,but I believe he'll make the worst good will ambassador ever! why? 1-he's anti-social 2-he doesn't have the heart to do that!
I'd nominate Assi Hellani but he already is ambassador...there's also Fadel Shaker or Mohamed Hamaqi.
Amr won the World Music Award for Best Selling artist from the middle east for his latest hit album "Elailade".
The award was handed to him by Razan Moghrabi.
Amr performed "Neol Eih" with the same model from the song's video clip in front of an amazed audience and some of the biggest stars from around the world.
Congrats pappy you deserve it big time!
This is rather interesting!!
