The Band Perry’s “Better Dig Two” Certified Platinum
It must be tough being The Band Perry these days. They’ve got a prime touring gig with Rascal Flatts, a multi-week #1 hit and a forthcoming album, Pioneer. Additionally, it was just announced that “Better Dig Two” has been certified Platinum by the RIAA, for sales over one million copies. The song is both the first single off their hotly-anticipated new album, as well as the fastest-rising song of their career.
As they prepare to release Pioneer on April 2, the talented trio recently revealed their album tracklisting.
Eric Church’s “Chief” Certified Platinum
Eric Church‘s “Chief” was released last July, debuted at Number 1 on the Top 200 Sales Chart and recently added another accolade, a Platinum certification. The EMI Records’ album was certified Platinum by the RIAA, and Church’s latest hit, “Springsteen,” has been the number 1 country single for the past 2 weeks.
Ironically, 28 years ago that same week, Bruce Springsteen went to #1 with his only #1 on the Pop Chart, “Dancing In The Dark.”
