Three Days Grace Earns RIAA 5x Platinum for "One-X"

The Canadian rock band Three Days Grace has achieved a significant milestone for their second studio album, One-X. On November 18, 2025, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) certified the album 5x Platinum, recognizing 5,000,000 certified units in the United States. The album, released under the RCA label, has remained a cornerstone of the modern rock and post-grunge genres since its debut.

Released on June 13, 2006, One-X was a deeply personal and commercially successful project for the band. The album's title track explores themes of isolation and social alienation, reflecting a feeling of being singled out from society, as if marked by a distinguishing 'X. ' This concept, which ties into the album's cover art, follows a narrative arc from insecurity to an embrace of one's unique identity. One-X spawned several of the band's most enduring anthems, including "Animal I Have Become," "Pain," "Never Too Late," and "Riot," which contributed to its widespread acclaim and longevity.

Since breaking into the mainstream in 2003, Three Days Grace has established itself as a vanguard of hard rock, consistently topping charts and selling millions of records worldwide. The group has earned nineteen #1 records at Mediabase Active Rock and seventeen #1s at Billboard's Active Rock chart. Their sustained popularity is evident in their digital presence; the band is one of the most listened-to rock acts in the world, with over 17.3 million monthly listeners and more than 7.3 million followers on Spotify. With total career streams surpassing 5 billion, this 5x Platinum certification for One-X reaffirms the album's lasting impact on rock music and its continued resonance with listeners.
