I dunno if you guys have heard of this Metallica band, but apparently they're pretty popular?
Metallica's 1991 self-titled album – better known as The Black Album – has officially sold 20 million copies in the United States alone. The Black Album has been certified 20x platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), which I guess isn't too surprising – everyone on Earth at least knows "Enter Sandman" at this point.
To add to the accolades, Metallica's classic 1986 thrash-terpiece Master of Puppets has now sold over 8 million copies and has been certified (you guessed it) 8x platinum. If you listen closely, you can actually hear Lars Ulrich clicking around trying to find his new Jean-Michel Basquiat purchase.
Metallica is on the road playing their M72 2025 tour featuring Pantera and Suicidal Tendencies as openers, as well as Limp Bizkit and Ice Nine Kills. Tickets are available here.
