Whiskey Myers Earns RIAA 2x Platinum for "Broken Window Serenade"

The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has officially certified Whiskey Myers' song "Broken Window Serenade" as 2x Platinum, recognizing 2,000,000 units in sales and streaming equivalents in the United States. The certification was awarded on November 6, 2025. Originally released on April 25, 2011, the track is featured on the band's second studio album, Firewater, released on their own Wiggy Thump Records label.

"Broken Window Serenade" is a narrative-driven song that tells the story of a man remembering a woman he loved who died from a drug overdose. The lyrics explore her struggles with depression and addiction, which ultimately derailed her dream of becoming an actor. The title serves as a metaphor for the narrator's mournful perspective on her life and tragic end, a theme that has resonated deeply with the band's audience.

Hailing from Tyler, Texas, Whiskey Myers emerged in 2007, blending Southern rock, country, and red dirt influences into a sound praised by Esquire as "the real damn deal." The independent six-piece band has built a dedicated fanbase through extensive touring, playing over 2,500 live shows, including headlining sets at renowned venues like Red Rocks Amphitheater and a 2019 opening slot for The Rolling Stones. To date, Whiskey Myers has sold more than 1.5 million albums and amassed over 2 billion streams. Their 2019 self-titled album debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Country and Americana/Folk sales charts. The band's profile has also been boosted by features and an on-screen appearance in the Paramount series "Yellowstone," adding to their four previous RIAA Gold and Platinum certifications.
