By: Caryn Robbins Oct. 07, 2013
In a surprise celebration backstage at the taping of their first CMT Crossroads, Kimberly, Reid and Neil Perry of The Band Perry were presented with gold plaques for their sophomore album, Pioneer, by Big Machine Label Group President & CEO Scott Borchetta, Republic Nashville President & Big Machine Label Group EVP Jimmy Harnen and album producer Dann Huff.
The Band Perry has ascended to dizzying heights since releasing their self-titled debut album on Republic Nashville in 2010, which scored the sibling trio a string of hits, including the quadruple-platinum "If I Die Young" (#1 on Billboard's Country and AC charts); platinum "You Lie" and gold "All Your Life" (#1 Country). Fronted by Kimberly Perry and rounded out by her younger brothers Neil and Reid, the band has amassed over 10.3 million tracks sold from their platinum debut and gold sophomore release PIONEER, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Country Albums Chart and #2 All Genre. In addition to acclaim from top critics across the country, PIONEER has produced two consecutive #1 Country smashes - the platinum "Better Dig Two" and gold "DONE.," which earned Neil and Reid their first chart-topper as songwriters. Their current single, "Don't Let Me Be Lonely," is already in the Top 25 at Country radio. The Band Perry have also enjoyed sold-out headlining dates and will embark on their first global headline dates - WE ARE PIONEERS World Tour - beginning November 8. Additionally, they have taken over the American television airwaves with unforgettable performances on the ACM, CMA, Grammy and Billboard Music Awards as well as American Idol, Good Morning America, The Today Show, Ellen, The Talk, The Arsenio Hall Show, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and The Late Show with David Letterman.
