twenty one pilots added another major achievement with ‘Trench’

Another week and another major achievement for twenty one pilots. Their 2018 album Trench is now certified platinum in the US by the RIAA. Certified platinum means a record has achieved one million sales. 

Trench was certified Gold just two months after its October 2018 release.

A few weeks ago, twenty one pilots’ first music since Trench, “Level Of Concern” toppled the giant that was Panic! At The Disco who held No. 1 spot on Billboard‘s Top Rock Songs Chart for a miraculous 76 weeks.

Just after that, their 2015 record Blurryface had every song achieve over 100 million streams on Spotify. But it didn’t stop there. Next, twenty one pilots “Level Of Concern” hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Alternative Songs Chart. It was the fastest to hit that spot in two years. The last to do it was their own song “Jumpsuit” from Trench

The near-hour long record was brought into the world on the backs of four singles in 2018. “Jumpsuit,” “Nico And The Niners,” “Levitate” and “My Blood.” The record sent twenty one pilots on the absolutely massive Bandito Tour and clearly, continues to sell very well over a year and a half after its initial release.

Trench is now twenty one pilots’ third Platinum record, with Blurryface and Vessel both achieving the feat in 2019.

Trench being certified Platinum is just another notch in the belt for one of the most successful groups of all time.

“I also want a portion of whatever money this song makes to go to this charity I saw called Crew Nation,” he says. “It provides funding for people who work in the live music industry who don’t have a job right now.”
