September 20, 2002 — Satellite, the second album from P.O.D., has been certified triple platinum by the RIAA for U.S. sales in excess of 3,000,000 units. The album achieved platinum certification in October 2001, just over a month after its debut, and double platinum status in March 2002.

This week, the band shared the stage with Carlos Santana for a live performance on the Third Annual Latin Grammy Awards show. The band joined the legendary guitarist to perform the song "America," the P.O.D.-penned collaboration with Santana slated to appear on the latter's forthcoming new album, Shaman.

P.O.D. was recently nominated for a total of six 2002 MTV Video Music Awards, tying Eminem and Missy Elliott for the most nominations this year. In addition, the quartet just wrapped up their co-headlining stint on the multi-artist extravaganza, Ozzfest 2002, which kicked off in Scranton, Pennsylvania on July 10th, and ran through September 8th in Dallas, Texas.
