Raspbernie Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Selling 103,199 copies in its second week (an 81% jump from last), the :"Guardians of the Galaxy, Awesome Mix Vol. 1" soundtrack album will be the top selling album in America on Billboard's chart tomorrow. Raspberries has a song on the #1 album. Wow!!! Absolutely, positively, irrefutably, incredible—but true: Raspberries finally got to "Go All The Way!:" Congrats!

AnneNR Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 This may sound like a really dumb question, but I am curious about the process ---- since the "album" has multiple artists, not just one, how does the getting the "gold" album thing work? Everybody from every group/artist on the album up on stage at one time? Notified individually? Only the ones (songs) getting the most play time on radio pushing it to number #1 get the recognition? I've always wondered in the past how a multiple artist album is handled when it sells so much. How does that work?? AnneNR 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raspbernie Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 No stage. No actual presentation. But everyone associated with an album that sells enough to qualify it as Gold/Platinum earns an award. That includes artists, engineers, producers, etc. Bernie 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raspbernie Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 Back in the day, of course, the record companies would make presentations of gold records to promote their artists with photo ops for the media. Raspberries received theirs in such a presentation ceremony. Bernie 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindy Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 So nice to hear songs from the Raspberries being played on the radio again. And it is not just Go All The Way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Carmen Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 That's OK. The number one and number three spot were both "debuts." Usually, there is a major drop off the following week. We could go back to number one, next week unless there's another major debut, by a different artist. In any case, there are now over 300,000 people who have a new CD with "Go All The Way" on it, and my guess is, a whole bunch of them are in their teens and 20's! Good stuff! 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Ellen Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I know that's what you've wanted - to give a new generation the experience of your incredible voice and exposure to the talents of the Rs. So happy for you, Eric. Congrats!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
