Bad Omens continued their ascent among the upper echelon of modern alternative metal bands last week, having just landed their fifth overall gold single in the Unites States. The song “Nowhere To Go” from their 2022 album “The Death Of Peace Of Mind” is the latest to reach that height.
Propelled by the viral TikTok fame of its featured track “Just Pretend“, “The Death Of Peace Of Mind” went gold back in September of 2024. “Just Pretend” remains the band’s crown jewel however when it comes to sales/streaming accolades, having most recently gone double platinum in the U.S. this past June.
*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.
