In 1999, even before the debut Buckcherry album had ever been released, Josh was featured in one of Rolling Stone’s last issues of 1999 as “What’s Hot in the New Millennium,” which included a center-fold photograph of him.
Buckcherry’s Success and Album Sales

Ultimately, the album sold over 1,000,000 copies worldwide and was certified Gold by the RIAA and Canada. The band’s success continued with subsequent albums, including “15,” which was certified double platinum by the RIAA for sales exceeding two million copies. In addition, the tracks “Crazy Bitch” was certified quadruple platinum for sales exceeding four million units, and “Sorry” was certified double platinum for sales exceeding two million units. By January 2014, Buckcherry had sold nearly five million albums. Buckcherry’s total album sales are over 2,690,000, including 2,500,000 in the United States.
