Californian post-hardcore band Pierce The Veil‘s growing collection of gold and platinum awards expanded by one this week. “Besitos“, the opening track from their gold-certified sophomore album “Selfish Machines“, has just hit gold status in the United States, with the RIAA declaring it so today, May 28th. The aforementioned album attained gold status in July of 2025. Recent years have seen Pierce The Veil continually rack up platinum and gold-certifications in the United States, amassing this sizable list of accomplishments.
*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. 150 streams of a song also equate to a track-equivalent unit.
