Hard rock outfit Halestorm have just earned their first platinum album in the United States. The group’s 2012 sophomore album “The Strange Case Of…” has just been certified by the RIAA as their first full-length offering to hit that milestone. It is however not the group’s first platinum award, as their second single from that outing, “I Miss The Misery“, went platinum back in 2019. That album’s fourth single “Here’s To Us” went gold in 2018.
Outside of those awards, the band’s 2009 self-titled debut album went gold in 2016 with its single “I Get Off” following in 2017.
A platinum album/single in the United States represents 1,000,000 units, while gold signifies 500,000 units. Outside of traditional physical/digital sales, the certifications factor in digital streams/downloads with 10 permanent track downloads counting as 1 unit and 1500 on-demand audio/video streams from a particular album also counting as as a unit.
