RIAA Platinum Album Award for Loverboy album Get Lucky. Released on Jan. 30, 1981, the album was certified Platinum by the RIAA for one million copies sold on Mar. 12, 1982. Loverboy RIAA awards are fairly hard to find. Remember original Loverboy bassist Scott Smith (1955-2000) with this award.
The second studio album from the Canadian rockers produced arguably their most famous hit "Working For The Weekend", along with "When It's Over", "Lucky Ones", and "Take Me to the Top.” It became the most successful for the group in the U.S., reaching #7 on the Billboard Top 200 Album chart and #8 in Canada, while also charting in Australia and New Zealand. By 1994 the album was certified 4x Multi-Platinum by the RIAA for four million copies sold.*

Notes on the condition of all vintage RIAA awards: Please do not buy this item if you want a brand new piece of memorabilia. These are historical artifacts from the year they were produced. As a result they may show signs of wear. Frankly, if you see a 20 to 50-year-old award purported to be in 100% perfect condition, it might be too good to be true. After all, an antique should have "good' wear. If not, you might want to question the piece.
As to where they came from, they could have been displayed in record label offices, recording studios, artist manager's offices, radio stations, private collector's homes and yes, of course, possibly the artist's or songwriter's home. Typically, we don't know all the places they may have been over the years other than what we've stated in the description.
Finally, a word on photos: Our photos are zoomable so you can get a very good look. Do let us know if you want photos of any other details on our pieces and we'll be happy to provide.
