Nashville, TN (October 30, 2019) – 12x Multi-Platinum rock band Skillet
continues to rake in more RIAA certifications with “Monster” being
certified 3x Platinum and “Hero” receiving 2x Platinum certification.
“Monster” remains one of the most-streamed rock songs of all-time with
over 3 billion global audio streams. As one of Billboard’s Top Halloween Songs,
joining the company of such legends as Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” and
“Ghostbuster’s” by Ray Parker Jr., the band has released fun “Monster”
Instagram, Facebook and snapchat filters. “Hero” has garnered over 1
billion global audio streams and has been used in sync partnerships with
everyone from the NFL, NHL, MLB, SCC and WWE.
To celebrate the certifications, personalities from top Active Rock
stations in Dallas and Orlando surprised the band at two VICTORIOUS SKY
tour stops last week. In Dallas, Ayo from KEGL joined the band backstage for a Facebook Live interview, closing with the plaque presentation for “Hero.” In Orlando, Dickerman from WJRR surprised the band on stage with the 3x platinum plaque for “Monster.”
In addition to the certifications, Skillet is also celebrating their
tenth Top 10 Active Rock single with their latest single from the
best-selling album Victorious, “Legendary.” In addition to the
hit track being tapped as the official theme song for WWE’s “RAW” on USA
Network, the WWE also recently used the song as the trailer for their
brand new 2K20 Video Game. Also nabbing the energetic track
lately is the NBA and NCAA as well as MLB during the opening of the NCLS
game two between the St. Louis Cardinals and Syracuse Nationals.
Music isn’t the only area where Skillet is seeing success these days.
Z2 Comics released their brand new, best-selling graphic novel, EDEN: A Skillet Graphic Novel
in August. The New York based publisher began collaborating with
musicians to create graphic novels centered on unique stories and
exclusive music in 2016, with EDEN now marking Z2’s best selling book of all time.
Skillet recently wrapped the VICTORIOUS SKY tour, a 21-city trek with
Alter Bridge. Starting November 6, the band launches a European
headlining jaunt through the remainder of the year, much of which is
already sold out, including stops in London, Paris, Hamburg and
Budapest. For tickets and more tour information, please visit: www.Skillet.com/tour.
