Michigan-based hard rockers Pop Evil have landed another accolade from the RIAA. The group have just scored their fifth gold single in the United States, with the latest being for their track “Waking Lions“. That song served as the opener for the band’s 2018 self-titled album and was also released as its lead single.
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.
