When it comes to RIAA certifications, June 28, 2016 was a very fruitful day for Muse. Three of the band’s albums were crowned platinum in the United States, and an additional release ascended to gold status.

The platinum certifications were issued to “Black Holes and Revelations,” “The Resistance” and “Absolution.” Muse’s “The 2nd Law” earned the gold certification.
