Believe “The Hype”: Twenty One Pilots’ ‘Trench’ certified platinum

Fueled by RamenDespite Tyler Joseph‘s warnings, you can believe “The Hype” about Twenty One Pilots’ Trench.

The latest album from the “Stressed Out” duo — made up of frontman Joseph and drummer Josh Dun — has officially been certified Platinum by the RIAA.

Released October 2018, Trench carried the weight of following Twenty One Pilots’ massive 2015 album Blurryface. While Trench hasn’t quite matched the sales of Blurryface, which became the first album ever to have every one of its songs RIAA-certified, it still debuted at number two on the Billboard 200, and spawned the singles “Jumpsuit,” “Chlorine,” “My Blood” and “The Hype.”

Meanwhile, Twenty One Pilots just dropped the new single “Level of Concern,” their first track to be released since Trench, in April. It currently sits at number one on Billboard‘s Alternative Songs chart.

More new music is apparently in the pipeline: Joseph recently told Apple Music that he’s started to write the next Twenty One Pilots album.
