Bands that only had one gold album.

[sonik]

As in only one album certified gold in the U.S. (RIAA), and no Platinums either.


If you need help.

Interesting. I would've though Parklife had gone gold too.

No Song 2 on Parklife. *spits*

Woo hoo.

It did have Girls & Boys though. I thought that was a hit. Anyway it was the first time I had ever heard of em.

I think that track was effectively a buzz bin/novelty item on us alternative radio. It didn't cross over in the same way that "Woo Hoo" did. I remember US alt radio was slow on the uptake with Brit Pop. It wasn't until "Wonderwall" that any of those bands really entered rotation.

The RIAA listing has them for 3 platinum and 3 gold sellers, but the 3 platinum and 2 of the gold are for live DVD's. Images And Words is the only gold 'album'

No wonder they release a live DVD after each tour, if their live DVD's sell that well.

Hard to believe that Phantoms outsold Reach the Beach and Shuttered Room. It's a great record, but the previous two had the bigger hit singles.

I was thinking exactly that when I saw the album cover.

Good album but very surprised it's gold. Wasn't going to look it up.

Reach The Beach was platinum. Thought that was weird too.

This is a great album.

I was thinking Primus might be another band but:

• Sailing the Seas of Cheese (1991) Platinum
  
• Pork Soda (1993) Platinum
  
• Tales from the Punchbowl (1995) Gold

The 90's were weird. And apparently pretty profitable.
