In February 2005, I was presented with this very, very special gold record.
It commorated my participation in sales of more than 100 million records worldwide. I’d passed the 100 million mark? Wow!

While holding it for this photograph, I recall thinking two things: ”Thanks for helping me lifting it, it weighs a ton”. But most importantly: ”Dreams do come true!”

Today, in February 2013, some say the number of sold records including my songs have exceeded 160 million. I don’t know. But I’m really, really proud of this golden record.
