Metallica's Self-Titled Masterpiece Earns Double Diamond Certification
Metallica's self-titled album remains by far the band's most successful release, even decades after it first came out. The project, which transformed the hard rock favorites into global phenomenons in the early '90s, continues to sell and stream consistently, and is almost always present on a number of major charts. Moving millions of equivalent units globally every year, the set regularly earns several new platinum plaques from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). As it does, the title hits a very special milestone that only a handful of musical acts in history have reached. The RIAA has now certified Metallica as a double diamond album. That means the collection has shifted 20 million equivalent units in America alone. The band adds four new platinum plaques to its namesake album's already historic total. The last time the project was certified by the RIAA was back in December 2012, when it advanced from 15-times platinum to 16. The project was originally certified gold, platinum, and then triple platinum all at once on Halloween day, 1991. Metallica is now tied with two other bestselling efforts as one of the twelfth most-certified releases in American history. It's on the same level as Dookie by Green Day and Come On Over by Shania Twain, which have both reached the incredibly impressive double diamond status. Their Greatest Hits 1971–1975 by the Eagles remains the most-certified album ever in America, as it is now up to 38 million equivalent units moved. Thriller by Michael Jackson is the only other set to pass triple diamond status, and it has been certified for moving 34 million equivalent units between pure purchases and streaming activity, which the RIAA began incorporating into its methodology several years ago. So far, only 14 titles have reached double diamond status. As Metallica moves from 16-times platinum to 20-times platinum, the band's album Master of Puppets also earns new wins. That project advances from six-times platinum to eight-times, tying with ...And Justice for All as the group's second highest-certified studio LP. Master of Puppets was named a gold record in November 1986 and was last certified in June 2003. That means it's been more than 20 years since the RIAA awarded it a new honor.

Shania Twain Takes a Stand Against Food Insecurity in New Partnership with Second Harvest Français
TORONTO, May 28, 2025 /CNW/ - The Shania Twain Foundation and Second Harvest, Canada's largest food rescue organization, are proud to announce a national partnership aimed at tackling two critical and interconnected challenges: food waste and food insecurity. With a shared commitment to ensuring no one in Canada goes hungry, the partnership will harness the Shania Twain Foundation's dedication to supporting underserved communities and Second Harvest's expertise in rescuing surplus food and redirecting it to those who need it most. "At the Shania Twain Foundation, we believe everyone deserves access to nutritious food," said Shania Twain, founder of the Shania Twain Foundation. "Second Harvest shares that belief and, together, we can make a meaningful impact across the country by ensuring that good surplus food feeds people — not landfills — and helps uplift communities across Canada." Through this partnership, the two organizations will work together to expand awareness campaigns, support food rescue efforts and engage with various stakeholders around the issue of food waste in Canada. "Shania's deep passion for food access and her influential platform will bring an exciting new energy to our mission. Her powerful voice will shine a bright light on the urgent need to address both food waste and hunger in this country," said Lori Nikkel, CEO of Second Harvest. "Together, we can create real change — from raising awareness to driving action in communities across Canada." By combining storytelling, community outreach and national advocacy initiatives, the Shania Twain Foundation and Second Harvest are set to work together to keep food where it belongs: on plates and out of landfills. About Second Harvest Second Harvest is Canada's largest food rescue organization and a global thought leader on food waste and perishable food redistribution. It rescues unsold surplus food from thousands of food businesses from across the supply chain to redistribute it to non-profits in every province and territory. This prevents harmful greenhouse gases from entering the atmosphere while improving access to nutrition for millions of Canadians experiencing food insecurity. Beyond food rescue and redistribution, Second Harvest is deeply involved in advocacy, research, training and education. Its groundbreaking reports, such as "The Avoidable Crisis of Food Waste," provide critical data and insights to inform public policy and educate the public on sustainable food systems. Second Harvest is committed to driving systemic change, helping to shape policies and practices that reduce food waste and address its role in climate change, while also supporting communities by providing them with the food they need. About The Shania Twain Foundation Since 2010, Shania Kids Can has provided localized programming within schools to help alleviate the negative effects of poverty and hunger that children face daily. Now as the Shania Twain Foundation, our goal is to reach more children and their families and to expand our work by partnering with other charitable organizations who are delivering similar programs and services. Our funding will continue to support food insecurity, youth empowerment and mental well-being.

Shania Twain has used this multipurpose beauty balm since the '90s — and it's on sale for $17 on Amazon
Not to be hyperbolic, but I have been obsessed with Shania Twain since I came out of the womb. I knew the lyrics to "That Don't Impress Me Much" before I learned our national anthem, and to this day, I think "Honey, I'm Home" could awaken me from a medically induced coma. Shania Twain is a Canadian national treasure and someone I trust far too much for having never met. Through Shania, I have learned two important things: head-to-toe leopard print is iconic, and the beauty secret to surviving harsh dry weather is Vermont's Original Bag Balm. The 59-year-old has been a decades-long devotee of the moisturizing balm. In 1999, Shania mentioned Bag Balm in an interview with The London Telegraph, saying, "When I've been flying a lot and my skin is really dry, I'll rub it over my face and on my hair and leave it there all day." Shania Twin has called this 126-year-old jelly the "best of all things." More recently, in an interview with Us Weekly, the Canadian country music star called the balm "the best of all things." "I try to drink as much water as I can. I have always exfoliated. I don't actually buy an exfoliator; I just make it. If I'm somewhere near the beach, I'll use sand," she told the magazine. "I believe in old-fashioned things, like a bit of Vaseline. I always thought Bag Balm was the best of all things. The cosmetic one that's been a staple for me is Crème de la Mer." Originally created in 1899 — yes, 1899 — Bag Balm is a moisturizer that was designed to heal chapped cows' udders. It's formulated with petroleum jelly and lanolin and has been made in a small town in Vermont for the past 120-odd years. Shania, alongside other beauty icons like Raquel Welch, even inspired a new generation of social media "skinfluencers" to try the product. TikTok personality Alix Earle swears by the jelly as a cure for chapped lips and dry skin, and thousands of others have recommended the long-time farmer's secret as an alternative to Vaseline for skin slugging. The healing balm works similarly to a good old tub of petroleum jelly. You can apply it to dry, cracked skin on your hands, feet, elbows and even your lips. Some people swear by it as the miracle cure for diaper rash or irritated skin, and skincare obsessives say it's ideal for slugging. Do you suffer from painful skin chafing? Bag Balm can help with that, too. More than 400 people have purchased the celebrity-approved balm on Amazon Canada in the past month. Reviewers say it not only "works" but "works harder than anything else." "I believe in old-fashioned things, like a bit of Vaseline. I always thought Bag Balm was the best of all things," Shania Twain told Us Weekly. "I love [it] beyond words," writes one shopper. It's "even better than the expensive French hand cream I've been using for years." The salve is "wonderful," echos another. It "heals chapped hands, feet and even diaper rash!" It's "gentle and effective." With a 4.5-star average rating, shoppers say it's beyond "worth it." It's "awesome." If you have dry, cracked skin, "this is what you want." While the vast majority of reviewers call it a moisturizing superstar, some note it's "a bit greasy," something to keep in mind when placing your order.
