Amr Diab holds a Guinness World Record as the best-selling Middle Eastern artist and enough hardware - seven World Music Awards, five Platinums - to justify the "King of Arabic Pop" tag Rolling Stone gave him when they ranked his "Tamally Maak" the top Arabic pop song of the 21st century.

About this person
Born in Egypt on 11 October 1961, Amr Abdel Basset Abdel Azeez Diab built a career as a singer, composer, and actor that pushed Arabic pop beyond regional borders. The awards stacked up across decades: seven World Music Awards, five Platinum Records, a Guinness World Record for sales across the Middle East. "Tamally Maak" became the measuring stick - Rolling Stone called it the century's best Arabic pop song, first on a list of fifty. He never stopped recording, never stopped touring, and the title stuck: King of Arabic Pop, by acclaim and by the numbers.
