The Neighbourhood Earns RIAA Gold for "Flawless"
Flawless earns RIAA Gold for The Neighbourhood, recognizing 500,000 units on October 30, 2025.
The Neighbourhood's 2013 single "Flawless" has officially been certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The certification, dated October 30, 2025, recognizes 500,000 certified units in the United States. Released by Columbia Records, this marks the first RIAA award for the digital single.
"Flawless" was released on April 22, 2013, as the eighth track on the band's debut studio album, I Love You. The song explores the complexities of a relationship, detailing the initial perception of perfection that gives way to doubt and the struggle to maintain love. Despite these challenges, the narrative concludes with a decision to remain in the relationship. The track is a staple from the band's early work, which helped define their signature sound.
The Neighbourhood formed in Newbury Park, California, in 2011. The alternative rock group consists of vocalist Jesse Rutherford, guitarists Jeremy Freedman and Zach Abels, bassist Mikey Margott, and drummer Brandon Fried. They rose to prominence with their debut album I Love You., which featured their sole Billboard Hot 100 entry, "Sweater Weather," a single that peaked at number 14 and experienced a viral resurgence years after its release. Other notable songs from the band include "Afraid," "Daddy Issues," and "Reflections."
