As multi-PLATINUM artist Dierks Bentley continues to take risks that pay off, his eighth studio album BLACK (Capitol Records Nashville) has earned GOLD certification by the RIAA today. The new certification makes it the only ACM “Album of the Year” nominated project to reach this mark.
After garnering nine nominations from the ACM, CMA and GRAMMY Awards and debuting at the No. One position on Billboard’s all-genre Top Albums Chart and Top Country Albums chart, the praise for Bentley’s latest record continues to balance robust record sales and heavy radio play with acclaim from even those critics who had seemed allergic to Nashville’s output in the past.
BLACK’s title track is currently climbing the Top 20 on the radio charts. It follows’ BLACK’s two No. One hits, the PLATINUM certified chart-topping hit “Somewhere On A Beach” and the GOLD, GRAMMY nominated and CMA-winning “Different For Girls” featuring Elle King.
Bentley has now amassed 15 No. one songs, 13 GRAMMY nominations and continues to sustain on the road. Bentley’s 2017 WHAT THE HELL WORLD TOUR with special guests Cole Swindell and Jon Pardi continues to sell out arenas and amphitheaters across the country.
