I plan to holler at him next time I'm in Israel. question: "platinum" in Israel = platinum in the US, i.e. 1 million copies sold? pretty sure it's a much, much lower threshold given Israel's relative population (countries certify albums at different numbers usually based on population). Ivri could never move a million in the US but with the right marketing he could move 100K or so, particularly with a lead single in English. but licensing is where the real scrillah is at. he needs to get in Starbucks and maybe do a VW commercial...oh, and ringtones of course!

The most incredible is that she mix English and Hebrew song on the same record... Guys you should listen it.

I have 3 of his cd's. and, hey, gary gold looks 15 yrs younger than i recalled, so the collaboration must be doing great. but.. the american market is so fickle. i think he will end up in a genre ghetto with Ari Gold. well.. i wish ivri lider much luck and best wishes.
