‘Blurryface’ A Clear Winner

• Twenty One Pilots‘ smash 2015 Fueled By Ramen album Blurryface has achieved a remarkable Gold & Platinum milestone unrivaled in the digital era — it just became the first album in which every individual song on the album has certified Gold, Platinum or multi-Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

This milestone was achieved with the recent Gold certification of “Hometown.” Now all 14 songs of the album have earned certification under the RIAA’s Gold & Platinum Program. Since the advent of digital sales and streams, and the inclusion of those formats in the Gold & Platinum Program, no other album’s individual songs have reached that collective milestone. The Blurryface album is also 3X multi-Platinum — the top RIAA certified alternative album released in the last three years.

“Congratulations to Twenty One Pilots for this unparalleled achievement,” said Cary Sherman, Chairman and CEO, RIAA. “From the first track to the 14th, each and every song from Blurryface has resonated with fans. In a time when fans enjoy instant access to millions of different tracks, this is a testament to the appeal of both the album and each of its individual songs. Congratulations to Tyler, Josh and Fueled by Ramen.”

The Blurryface song certifications look like this: “Heavydirtysoul” (Platinum); “Stressed Out” (7X Platinum); “Ride” (4X Platinum); “Fairly Local” (Platinum); “Tear In My Heart” (2X Platinum); “Lane Boy” (Platinum); and “The Judge, “Doubt,” “Polarize,” “We Don’t Believe What’s On TV,” “Message Man,” Hometown,” “Not Today” and “Goner” have achieved Gold status.
