Recording Industry Association Of America (
RIAA) certifies releases on the basis of sales.
Adjusting to the digital age, RIAA now equates 150 streams (on Spotify or elsewhere) to a single download/sale. A release must accrue 500,000 sales for gold certification, 1 million for platinum and 2 million for multi-platinum. Needless to say, these honors aren’t easy to come by.

Steel Panther as being anything other than their comedic
glam-rock selves. Before they started writing their own material, though, they performed
glam-metal covers under the name
Metal Skool. At least that describes the roots of their signature aesthetic…
Knuckle Puck
What better way to break out on the heels of the mainstream alternative heyday than by performing preestablished hits? That’s exactly how
Knuckle Puck set their foundations, playing covers for the first year of their tenure. While we’re certainly glad that they went on to write their own tracks, we’d give anything to go back and catch an eclectic set.
