Green Day’s ‘Dookie’ Certified Double Diamond
Green Day is celebrating a big milestone this week, as their 1994 album, Dookie, has been certified double Diamond by the RIAA.
The punk trio’s album surpassed 10 million units, the 13th album of all time in the U.S. to do so.
“Thank you to everyone who has loved this album as much as we have over the past 30 years and to all of you who have made it possible to live out our dreams,” Green Day said on social media.
Dookie featured the singles “Basket Case,” “Longview,” “Welcome to Paradise” and “When I Come Around.” In April, the Library of Congress announced it was inducting Dookie into the National Recording Registry.
The band has been playing Dookie in full in honor of its 30th anniversary on their ongoing U.S. stadium tour.
