'Pinkerton' Platinum 20 years later.

Weezer’s Pinkerton hit two new milestones this week. More below.

Just days before Pinkerton’s 20th anniversary the album has gone platinum. Initially panned by the critics it has now sold over a million copies world wide. The band took to Instagram to announce their achievement, joking ‘about time’. Take a crash course on Weezer’s classic album HERE.  

Its about time, 8 days shy of 20 years. Thanks to all 1 million of you in the US and A and the many more #acrossthesea worldwide who bought it and loved it. Congrats Rivers @rivers_cuomo Brian @trelationship, Pat @pat_tsg @_mattsharp – and @sgs711 for rocking its jams correctly since '01, surely your live efforts played a major role in spreading this slice of gospel for the last 15 years of the 20.
