My Thoughts On The Song/Chart: Another great track from Folie A Deux which i'm extremely glad the full album is more or less available as customs on the Rock Band Series. This has always been a favorite of mine from the album, such a unique and weird tune but also really catchy and engaging.
Song Facts:
Contrary to most songs on the rest of the album, the speaker in “The (Shipped) Gold Standard” seems to be opposed to the self-centered narcissistic attitude of their culture, or at least willing to admit the restlessness of consistently complaining.
The title of the song itself is a play on words.
The gold standard is an economic system in which the value of currency was determined by a standard, or fixed, amount of gold. “Gold standard” is also a term used to describe top-of-the-line, high quality products.
In music certification, a system that tracks the popularity of a single or record, the Recording Industry Association of American certification (RIAA) categorizes the following ascending popularity: gold, platinum and diamond. Popularity is determined by a certain number of units sold, either in sales, streams, or shipments.
Commercially, “The (Shipped) Gold Standard” was the most successful non-single song from Folie à Deux, peaking at #20 on the Billboard Bubbling Under chart (#120 on the Hot 100).
