Three Days Grace Earns RIAA 2x Platinum for "I Am Machine"

Canadian rock group Three Days Grace has earned a new certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for their single "I Am Machine." On November 18, 2025, the track was certified 2x Platinum, signifying 2,000,000 certified units in the United States. The song was released by RCA Records on September 30, 2014.

"I Am Machine" served as the second single from the band's fifth studio album, Human, which was released in 2015. The track was significant as it was the second single to feature new lead singer Matt Walst, who had taken over vocal duties from original frontman Adam Gontier. The song continued the more aggressive, hard rock sound the band introduced with the preceding single, "Painkiller." Thematically, the lyrics describe a feeling of emotional detachment and numbness, as if one has become a machine. The single was a commercial success, reaching No. 1 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart and adding to the band's extensive list of chart-topping hits.

Since breaking into the mainstream in 2003, Three Days Grace has become a vanguard of modern rock, blending elements of post-grunge alternative metal, and hard rock. The band has achieved remarkable chart success, securing nineteen No. 1 records at Mediabase Active Rock and seventeen No. 1s at Billboard Active Rock. Consistently ranking among the most-listened-to rock bands in the world, Three Days Grace maintains over 17 million monthly listeners on Spotify and has accumulated over 5 billion combined streams across platforms. This 2x Platinum certification for "I Am Machine" further cements the band's legacy and places the song among their other widely recognized anthems, including "I Hate Everything About You," "Animal I Have Become," and "Pain."
