OneRepublic’s journey began with their debut album Dreaming Out Loud, which included the 20 million-selling hit single Apologize. This track shattered digital sales and airplay records worldwide while earning them a Grammy nomination. Their subsequent releases continued this success, including the certified-platinum album Native featuring the number one hit Counting Stars, which has sold over 41 million copies globally.
Recent years have seen the band maintain their commercial momentum with hits like I Ain’t Worried from Top Gun: Maverick, which boasts over three billion streams. Their 2024 collaboration with David Guetta, I Don’t Wanna Wait, has amassed over 130 million streams since release. The group also debuted their sixth album Artificial Paradise in July, featuring tracks like Hurt and Sink or Swim.
