4- Rush holds fourth place for most consecutive gold or platinum albums
Only three bands have more consecutive platinum or gold records than Rush: The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Aerosmith. That?s the list, and despite that amazing statistic, Rush has never been inducted ? or even nominated ? to be entered into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Even people who hate Rush would have to concede that they deserve such consideration due to the length of their career and their surprising sales figures.

askmen says 4th, several other sources say 3rd. Another source on wiki even says it's KISS and not Aerosmith that holds down the 3rd spot.

"Rush is one of rock's most influential bands, ranking third behind The Beatles and The Rolling Stones..."
Princeton University says Rush is 3rd --
https://www.princeton.edu/~achaney/t...sh_(band).html
Rush has released 24 gold records and 14 platinum records (including 3 multi-platinum), placing them third behind The Beatles and The Rolling Stones for the most consecutive gold or platinum studio albums by a rock band

So you really should have saved your little correction post and just done a few more searches. The few I've found saying Rush are in 4th place can't even agree on who holds the 3rd spot. And in the end does it matter? They're a massively successful entity in rock spanning over 4 decades. Whether it's Rush, Kiss or Aerosmith in third spot you can't really lose, right? They're all great in their own way.
