VAN HALEN: Reunion Boosts Back Catalogue Sales

June 7, 2004

According to Undercover News, five of VAN HALEN's albums earned an extra platinum award in May — possibly as a result of an increased interest in the band following the announcement of the group's upcoming reunion tour. Albums that are said to have benefited from the renewed interest in the group include "5150", "OU812", "Van Halen II", "Balance" and "The Best of Van Halen Volume 1".

VAN HALEN have sold 34 million albums with singer David Lee Roth, 16 million with Sammy Hagar and less than a million with Gary Cherone.

"The Best of..." album has sold three million and the live album, "Right Here Right Now", has sold two million copies in the U.S.

In total, the VAN HALEN catalogue has now turned over more than 55 million units in the U.S. alone.
