Fall Out Boy Drops From Platinum To Gold

07/30/2009
. (Island) Multi-platinum three-time MTV VMA-winning Island Records group Fall Out Boy most recent album FOLIE � DEUX has been certified RIAA gold.

Fall Out Boy will now join their reunited pals in Blink-182 for their first tour in five years.

In another once-in-a-lifetime moment, on July 18th, 2009 Fall Out Boy was one of the first western artists ever to perform on live TV in China . The show, roughly translated as "The Next Generation" and similar in style to American Idol, has an audience of approximately 60 million households. Fall Out Boy performed "I Don't Care" and sat in as guest judges for the evening. They followed that up by performing at the mammoth rock festivals in Korea ( Jisan Valley ) on July 24th, and in Japan (Fuji Rock) on July 26th before picking up the Blink-182 tour on its third date, July 30th in Calgary .

In support of FOLIE � DEUX (released December 2008), Fall Out Boy has spent most of this year on the Believers Never Die Part Deux Tour, many early shows featuring 50 Cent.

FOLIE � DEUX has been shedding cuts as digital singles and airplay tracks since before its release, starting with the massive RIAA gold hit "I Don't Care" back in September 2008.
