Las Vegas, NV-based post-hardcore/metalcore band Escape The Fate have taken home their first gold certification in the United States. The band’s 2006 debut album “Dying Is Your Latest Fashion” was awarded that status by the RIAA on July 29th.
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.
