AXEL RUDI PELL: 'Run With The Wind' Single Certified Gold In Sweden

May 8, 2012

The "Run With The Wind" single from German guitarist AXEL RUDI PELL, which was exclusively distributed in Sweden via Sweden Rock Magazine, was certified gold in that country by the International Federation Of The Phonographic Industry for sales in excess of 10,000 copies. (Note: Each copy of the magazine containing the CD sold in Sweden was counted towards the certification; the single itself was **not** sold separately.)

Axel and his band were presented with "Run With The Wind" gold plaques on the final date of the "Circle Of The Oath" tour at Zeche in Bochum, Germany (see photo below).

Pell played five sold-out gigs on the latest tour, including one show at the Z7 in Pratteln, Switzerland (where they set an "attendance record," according to a press release),plus three consecutive concerts at the Zeche in front of over 12,000 enthusiastic fans. A second part of the tour is planned for October 2012.

Germany: #16 (highest entry ever in Axel's nearly 25-year solo career)

Sweden: #51 (#5 on the Hard Rock chart)
