| "DIRTY DYNAMITE" GOES PLATINUM Right before the first concert of our sold out "Closer Contact Doeg Tour" our record label Sony Music presented us with gold and platinum record awards. Swiss boulevard paper "Blick" reports in today's edition: For almost 40 years they have been in the charts with every one of their releases. During the presentation the band's founder, producer and bassist Chris Von Rohr points out: "We worked extremely hard on this album and gave it our all. Bottom line, it was worth it". And vocalist Marc Storace adds: "It's an incredible feeling after so many decades to still be on top of the Swiss music scene". During the bands long spanning career they have sold over 14 million albums worldwide. All concerts of their current tour are sold out. Chris Von Rohr adds: "We would like to thank all of our fans from the bottom of our hearts for their continuous support over the years. We never had so much fun as a band with this album than any other and we will rock (for you) till the very end". | |

Yeah, I was gonna say... how many records do you have to sell in Switzerland to go platinum? Five hundred? A thousand? But seriously... good on'em, I guess. _________________ "If you're a false, don't entry, because you'll be burned and died!"

| Where I live, in Canada, it's 40,000 for gold and 80,000 for platinum. It used to be 50,000 and 100,000, but due to online issues, they reduced it in recent years.
I feel that digital copies of the album and physical copies should count for certification.
Going by the U.S. numbers, if an album sells 400,000 physical copies and 200,000 digital copies, it should be certified gold. | |

| Haha, yeah, they made the announcement at their gig. Getting platinum over here is nice, but nothing unexpected. Established bands like Krokus and Gotthard always get their market share here. I'm rather curious how it's selling abroad. | |

They signed an exclusive deal with the Toblerone people. Everyone gets a free album with every chocolate bar purchased, so those figures might be skewed just a hair. _________________ I used to be with it, but then they changed what "it" was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems weird and scary to me, and it'll happen to you, too.

| That's cool that Krokus is doing well. They've been at it long enough. They are legends IMO. _________________ ULTIMATUM - TOO METAL FOR WIKIPEDIA!
