Pierce The Veil‘s continued ascent has seen the post-hardcore band land another sales/streaming accolade in the United States. The already multi-platinum outfit have just landed a gold certification from the RIAA for their 2010 track “I Don’t Care If You’re Contagious“. That certification was handed down on November 09th, with the song taken from the group’s sophomore album “Selfish Machines“. If you haven’t been keeping count, this is the band’s fourteenth gold single in the U.S. to date.
*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.
