A Big Difference
With such iconic songs, the album Gimme Back My Bullets quickly earned a valuable spot in Skynyrd’s history. But there’s a big difference between this album and the rest. Out of Skynyrd’s first five albums (from the pre-crash lineup), Gimme Back My Bullets is the only one that hasn’t been certified Platinum (or higher) by the RIAA.

Second Helping (pronounced ‘Lĕh-‘nérd ‘Skin-‘nérd), and Street Survivors have all been certified Double Platinum, while Nuthin’ Fancy was certified Platinum. Yet, Gimme Back My Bullets is one of their best-performing albums on the charts. RIAA certifications change all the time, though, so it might eventually reach the one million sales mark to earn that Platinum status!
