BUCKCHERRY: '15' Certified Platinum

[HARD ROCK UNIVERSE]

According to the BUCKCHERRY fan site Lit-Up.net, BUCKCHERRY's most recent album, "15", was officially certified platinum today by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) for shipments in excess of one million copies in the United States.

"15" has proven a triumph, spending more than 90 weeks on the Billboard 200 chart. The CD's first blockbuster hit single, "Crazy Bitch", earned the band a 2007 Grammy Awards nomination in the "Best Hard Rock Performance" category. In addition, "Crazy Bitch" recently celebrated a full year in the Nielsen Ringscan Top 30 — the only track to do so in the chart's history. "Crazy Bitch" has been certified as a Platinum Master Ringtone by the RIAA.

On November 20, the band released an MVI edition of "15", a PC/MAC-compatible DVD which features full album audio, downloadable files for every song, previously unreleased live tracks (including "Everything", "Next 2 You", and "Crazy Bitch"), videos, an exclusive photo gallery, complete lyrics, U-Myx (which allows fans to create their own custom remixes of "Crazy Bitch" and "Everything"), plus a variety of digital extras (such as ringtones, screen savers, buddy icons, and wallpapers). In addition, fans who register their "15" MVI can unlock future content as it becomes available.

BUCKCHERRY will be the featured musical guests on NBC-TV's "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" on Thursday, January 24.

In an age of mp3's and file sharing....it's not easy to do. Good for them. Not a huge fan, but I respect those guys. I also liked the fact that they released that album by themselves. From what I understand they had no label backing when they released '15'. So they have to be reaping the rewards.
