hope this dude got over his sex addiction

I imagine somebody has to file paperwork for it, whether it is primarily the artist/management/label I don't really know. Next year will be WYHSB's 20th anniversary, so maybe by then? A conservative estimate would be it has sold around 400,000k in america by now, but who knows. browsing the RIAA website, apparently Dookie has gone double diamond. 20 million! fuck also old albums like She Wants Revenge (remember them?) just got a gold album last year. so they do keep up with some of this, but no clue if you need to be proactive in receiving one.

I was rolling through spotify and got to listening to some (+44) and the song WYHSB is actually rather popular with 88m streams. So overall, the album has about 180mil plays attributed to it on Spotify alone, which is pretty robust all-in-all. So I wondered if the album might eventually cross the 500k threshold and crunched some available streaming numbers. With only Spotify taking into account, I still don't think it comes close (going by wikipedia's reported 274k amount from 2011) and that's not even taking into account how steaming is divvied up between regions as I assume this is global. BCR is less popular on Spotify, but isn't far behind. I assumed that sold 500k back in the day (how did WDNTW sell that much but not BCR?) but there is not source stating it did. If @boxelder has any decent information on how close these albums are to going gold, I'd love to read about it.

american football players are gladiators. they literally put their life on the line every play. the worst that might happen to a soccer player is some hooligans burning down their village after a bad outing

heard the Nori news and yikes. I don't know if I've gone on about this band here (probably) but damn did Underclass Hero just feel like a pale imitation of American Idiot. Hard drop off with that record. I actually didn't mind some of SBM but I haven't liked anything since then. Chuck is still a great album.

go tom go

band should of ended in 2002, but I guess they make people happy with the new stuff. anyway, it's probably better for him to get his life in order.

the moment I read that mitch hedberg died I was listening to cast no shadow and I can't separate the moment. shit still bums me out

I like hearing that but I feel like I would just hear everyone else singing along. Now if they played more intimate shows, that would be the tops as they say. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-13783341/From-love-triangle-rumours-BRUTAL-insults-chart-battle-Inside-bitter-feud-Oasis-Noel-Liam-Gallagher-Blurs-Damon-Albarn-defined-Britpop-era.html#:~:text=The battle for chart dominance,it was a 'joke'. Love both bands terribly, but this was actually shocking to read about in the 2000s. Took it too far mate. They all seem good to one another now and I'm glad to hear it.

I'd go see them but I can't imagine the shows being good.

i wonder if they still hope damon albarn will die from aids

when they did the first date video easily, specifically the beegees look

never got to go to twisters until I think it became nancy raygun/strange matter. would have been cool to see blink or texas is the reason there

it slaps, but does it bop?
