JKKDARK Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermo...ewsitemID=88708ccording to the BUCKCHERRY fan site Lit-Up.net, BUCKCHERRY's most recent album, "15", was officially certified platinum today by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) for shipments in excess of one million copies in the United States."15" has proven a triumph, spending more than 90 weeks on the Billboard 200 chart. The CD's first blockbuster hit single, "Crazy Bitch", earned the band a 2007 Grammy Awards nomination in the "Best Hard Rock Performance" category. In addition, "Crazy Bitch" recently celebrated a full year in the Nielsen Ringscan Top 30 — the only track to do so in the chart's history. "Crazy Bitch" has been certified as a Platinum Master Ringtone by the RIAA.On November 20, the band released an MVI edition of "15", a PC/MAC-compatible DVD which features full album audio, downloadable files for every song, previously unreleased live tracks (including "Everything", "Next 2 You", and "Crazy Bitch"), videos, an exclusive photo gallery, complete lyrics, U-Myx (which allows fans to create their own custom remixes of "Crazy Bitch" and "Everything"), plus a variety of digital extras (such as ringtones, screen savers, buddy icons, and wallpapers). In addition, fans who register their "15" MVI can unlock future content as it becomes available.BUCKCHERRY will be the featured musical guests on NBC-TV's "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" on Thursday, January 24.Congratulations Buckcherry, it's really good considering it's a Hard Rock group Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAC185 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Cool.They toured their asses off on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tat2d1 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 (edited) Great news! If it weren't for the internet AND the fact that it was released in Japan 6 months before the states ( I have the import, bought it as soon as it was released, it has 2 songs not on the USA version) it would've been platinum a long time ago.I'm glad they're finally getting the recognition they deserve. I hope the next album is as good as the other 3 have been.They put on a great live show too. I've seen them on tour for every album they've put out, twice on the 15 tour.

Carne_asaDA Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 There latest single has been getting a lot of rotation here on a local top 40 station. They play it over and over again along with Soulja Boy, Rhianna, and all of that crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard "Sorry" on my little sister's fave radio station last week (which plays nothing but the shit you mentioned above) and I got so pissed....I hear it everywhere now. Good for them I guess, but it kinda takes away from the song and their talent.Anyway congrats BC!! Rock onnnnn...I got that album the day it came out, definatley deserves platinum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for them I guess, but it kinda takes away from the song and their talent.Why? Because now you don't feel like a rebel for listening to Buckcherry because they are on the radio with all the other "conformists"? Shit album really. Their first album and Time Bomb were much much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hudsonsaul Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I didnt mind buckcherry until this album thought they were OK and hand something....now I think they are a genuinely good rock band and I enjoy this album. Took me ages to get past the amazingly cheesy lyrics, but i really like the music. The guitars are good, complementing each other, the other albums that doesn't seem to happen.The lyrics are still super cheesey hahhaaa..Brooklyn is also a great track.Gotta run, at work.

Dead Flower Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I can't believe Crazy Bitch was so successful. I mean, I enjoyed the video featuring the naked jailbait, but the song was so corny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange.i think time bomb was a tad too dirty, which then = less marketable. But i LOVE that album, with lyrics like "whiskey in the morning cant stop drinking gonna die," you cant go wrong.
