Beastie Boys' New Record Goes Gold

The sixth full-length album from the Beastie Boys, To The 5 Boroughs, has sold over 500,000 copies, making it certifiable gold. Released June 15, the album debuted at #1 on the Billboard U.S. Album Chart. A week later it had reached the half-million sales mark.

To The 5 Boroughs, which also features Mixmaster Mike, is the first to be produced by the Beastie Boys themselves.

The group will deliver the video for the second single, "Triple Trouble," on July 15. Director Nathanial Hornblower is currently working on the clip with the Beastie Boys, amidst reports of arguments and other troubles with the band.
