In addition to selling over 12 million records worldwide, the group garnered four GRAMMY® Award nominations and seized a page in the history books by achieving 14 number one and Top 10 hits at Hot AC in the USA. As a result,they hold the all-time radio record for “Most Top 10 Singles.”
Their song “Iris” was #1 on the Hot 100 for 18 straight weeks and was named “#1 Top 40 Song of the Last 20 Years.” This year it surpassed 1 billion streams on Spotify. A Boy Named Goo (1995) went double-platinum, Dizzy Up The Girlwent quadruple-platinum. Gutterflower(2002) and Let Love In (2006) both went gold with Something for the Rest of Us(2010) and Magnetic (2013) both reaching the Top 10 of the Billboard Top 200.
Goo Goo Dolls’ music has been covered by everyone from Taylor Swift to Phoebe Bridgers. Among many accolades, John received the prestigious “Hal David Starlight Award” in 2008.
