The sales figures are in for Anand Bhatt and he is set to celebrate. This week the Grammy recognized rock star, and author of the book ROCK STAR RECIPES, received notice that he will receive the coveted Triple Platinum award for music sales in Sweden. In other words, sales of the record have hit Triple Platinum Status. The single is a track that is a bit of an homage to Lady Gaga in rock form. "The reason I dedicated the track to her is because we were at an event where she wore a crazy shiny bird outfit, and that image which burned itself into my brain was on my mind as I was writing the song," says Bhatt.
Bhatt's european sales success also show that he has gone platinum in Norway, gold in Spain, and short time he will achieve platinum status in Finland.
