Their three highest-charting singles in the US, "Light My Fire", "Hello, I Love You" and "Touch Me", have all been certified Gold in the US by the RIAA. This seems to be in the old definition of Gold, that is a million copies sold, as opposed to the current value of a Gold record, which is 500,000 sold. In No One Here Gets Out Alive it is reported that "Light My Fire" sold over a million copies in the US, and as it appears by looking at the cerifications, the same goes for "Hello, I Love You" and "Touch Me", giving The Doors a total of three million-selling singles in the US.

Remixes

The Doors have recently allowed several dance/electronic music producers to remix their songs. Many believe that this is to introduce their music to a new generation. The remixes and their appearances are:

• The 2002 compilation 'The Best of the Doors' was released with a Limited Edition Bonus Disc featuring several remixes of 'Riders on the Storm': Baez & Cornell 'Tunnel' Club Mix; Nightmares on Wax Remix; Ibizarre Remix, and; Spacebats Remix.
• Snoop Dogg vs. The Doors - "Riders on the Storm (Fredwreck Remix)" Appeared in the video game Need for Speed Underground 2.
• The Doors - "L.A. Woman (Paul Oakenfold Remix)" appears on the mix album "Perfecto Presents: The Club".
