Linkin Park and Volbeat have both earned new sales and streaming certifications in the United States. Linkin Park‘s sophomore album, 2003’s Meteora, is now certified 8x platinum. Sales jumped when they released the 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition which came out last April. The album’s last certification was for 7x platinum in 2017.
Meanwhile, Volbeat scored their first-ever platinum certification in the U.S. for their single “The Devil’s Bleeding Crown”. That track originated from the group’s 2016 album Seal The Deal & Let’s Boogie. The song was certified both platinum & gold earlier this month.
A platinum album/single in the United States represents 1,000,000 units, while gold signifies 500,000 units.
