Godsmack got some good news this week. Their
new album, “Faceless” has gone platinum. Their publicist issued the
following press release:
GODSMACK’S FACELESS CERTIFIED PLATINUM!
New York, NY - FACELESS, the third album
from Republic/Universal stars, GODSMACK, has just been certified platinum
by the RIAA, signifying sales of more than 1,000,000 units. The band has
reached this benchmark a mere 5 weeks after the album’s release in April.
The album debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 Chart.
The amazing sales story is due in no small
part to the success of the album’s first single, “Straight Out Of Line,”
at radio. The song immediately ascended to #1 at Active, Mainstream &
Heritage Rock radio & top 10 at the Modern Rock format. No stranger
to radio success, GODSMACK has topped the charts with seven hit singles
from their last two albums (“Voodoo,” “Whatever” and “Awake” among others),
including the BDS Most Played Active Rock song of 2001, “I Stand Alone.”
FACELESS was produced by David Bottrill
(Tool). GODSMACK’s previous multi-platinum albums, GODSMACK and AWAKE,
and their theme song from the soundtrack for THE SCORPION KING garnered
the band 3 Grammy Nominations, an American Music Awards nomination and
won them the 2001 BILLBOARD ROCK BAND OF THE YEAR award.
Fans can look for the band on tour in the
US through late June and then when they return to the US in the fall. GODSMACK’s
video for “Straight Out Of Line,” which gives an ‘intimate’ view of the
band in a mock rehearsal, can currently be seen on MTV, MTV2 and Much Music
USA.
