METALLICA’s latest album, “Hardwired… To Self-Destruct”, was certified platinum on April 12 by the RIAA (Recording Association Of America). The members of the band were presented with their plaques by “executives” from their record label, Blackened Recordings, on May 17 at The New Coliseum Presented By NYCB in Uniondale, New York.
The “Hardwired… To Self-Destruct” platinum certification reflects a million equivalent album units, which blends traditional album sales, tracks sold from an album and on-demand audio and video streams.
