A Day To Remember, Lamb Of God albums certified Gold

The RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) has issued a new "Gold & Platinum report," which highlights 40 digital singles and albums that have newly been certified Gold or Platinum. Historically, a Gold record was one that achieved 500,000 copies sold. However, to accommodate the growing prominence of online streaming, the RIAA recently recalibrated their certifications to equate 1,500 on-demand audio streams with one album sale. As such, the latest report includes a number of artists who have achieved their first Gold records via the RIAA's changes. Among the new Gold certifications are: - A Day To Remember - Homesick - A Day To Remember - What Separates Me From You - Halestorm - Halestorm - Halestorm - The Stranger Case Of... - Hawthorne Heights - If Only You Were Lonely - Volbeat - Beyond Hell, Above Heaven The previous certification list also included Lamb of God's 2004 album, Ashes of the Wake, which was formally certified Gold on February 18.

oh man, remember Neilson SoundScan figures and numbers?? Saves the Day cheated the system, and got banned for claiming more copies of Cant Slow Down that were even printed.
