Beartooth have just scored their second gold single in the United States. “Hated“, which was launched as the fourth single from the melodic metalcore band’s 2016 sophomore album “Aggressive“, has just notched up that certification in the United States.
The group have also previously earned a platinum certification for their song “In Between“, which served as the third and final single from their 2014 debut album “Disgusting“. That latter track was certified by the RIAA this past September, while “Hated” was declared gold this past Wednesday, March 12th.
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.
