Between the playful Megan Fox-assisted video clip and the tasteful revival of a genre long-declared deceased, it didn’t take long for “Bloody Valentine” to emerge as an instant fan-favorite; in fact, many fans seemed to appreciate Kelly’s pop-punk music more than his more rap-focused output, a testament to his artistic versatility. And with the clip currently boasting an impressive forty-three million YouTube views, a platinum plaque feels all but inevitable.
According to the findings of Chart Data, Machine Gun Kelly has already done his part in locking down a gold certification, with “Bloody Valentine” officially having sold over five-hundred-thousand album-equivalent units. Don’t be surprised to see that number steadily climb, and who knows — perhaps we’ll actually see MGK steadily moving deeper into pop-punk territory in the years to come. Especially considering he’s likely sitting on his most successful album to date.
