Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello has landed yet another gold record for his collection of industry accolades. The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame-inducted musician/political activist scored a gold record certification for his guest appearance on Italian rockers Måneskin‘s 2013 single “GOSSIP“. That song was officially deemed gold in the United States on February 14th by the RIAA.
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.
