Music group My Chemical Romance secures certification for ten new songs, expanding their roster of certified tracks.
My Chemical Romance, the renowned emo rock band, has recently garnered a series of new honours from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). This recognition comes as a testament to the enduring popularity of the band's music, even after a prolonged period of quietness.
The band's iconic album, "The Black Parade," has seen several of its tracks reach new milestones. "Welcome to the Black Parade," already a seven-times platinum certified track, has added another two million units to its total, bringing the grand total to over seven million units sold. "Teenagers" has also joined the six-times platinum club, having added two million equivalent units to its tally.
Five songs from the same album, namely "Disenchanted," "Sleep," "House of Wolves," "The Sharpest Lives," and "This Is How I Disappear," have reached gold status for the first time. These five tracks have collectively moved another 9 million equivalent units.
Two other tracks, "Mama" and "I Don't Love You," have also been upgraded to platinum status, having moved one million equivalent units each. Notably, "Helena" skyrocketed from gold to four-times platinum in April, and is now tied with "Teenagers" as the band's second-highest certified track, just one million units behind "Welcome to the Black Parade."
The RIAA certifications reflect the band's significant impact on the music industry. My Chemical Romance's last album, "Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys," was released 15 years ago. Despite this, millions of people across the United States continue to buy and stream the band's full-lengths and singles.
This latest round of certifications brings the total number of RIAA awards earned by My Chemical Romance to 10. The band's popularity shows no signs of waning, with their music continuing to resonate with fans old and new.
