Pierce The Veil have received another platinum certification in the United States, marking their fourth platinum award to be handed down this year thus far. The San Diego-based emo/post-hardcore band previously racked up platinum certifications in 2024 for “A Match Into Water” and “Caraphernelia“. Their song “King For A Day“, which first went platinum in 2019, also hit 2x multi-platinum status this past June.
Now the RIAA have announced that “Bulletproof Love“, the second single from the group’s 2010 album “Selfish Machines“, has newly gone platinum. It previously went gold back in July of 2021.
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.
