Formed by John Rzeznik and Robby Takac in Buffalo during 1986, Goo Goo Dolls have quietly broken records, contributed a string of staples to the American songbook, connected to millions of fans, and indelibly impacted popular music for three-plus decades. Beyond selling 15 million records worldwide, the group has garnered four Grammy Award nominations and nearly a dozen Platinum and Gold singles combined, and seized a page in the history books by achieving 16 No. 1 and Top 10 hits. As a result, they hold the all-time radio record for Most Top 10 Singles.
Thus far, “A Boy Named Goo” (1995) has gone two-times-Certified Platinum, “Dizzy Up The Girl” (1998) five-times-Certified Platinum, and “Gutterflower” (2002) and “Let Love In” (2006) are both Certified Gold. In addition, “Something for the Rest of Us” (2010) and “Magnetic” (2013) bowed in the Top 10 of the Billboard Top 200.
The Goo Goo Dolls’ music continues to reach new audiences around the world and has been covered by everyone from the likes of Taylor Swift to Phoebe Bridgers and Maggie Rogers.
Among a string of hits, “Iris” clutched No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 for 18 straight weeks and would be named “#1 Top 40 Song of the Last 20 Years.” On the heels of going viral on TikTok, the track recently achieved eight-times-Certified Platinum and re-entered the Billboard charts, yet again proving the timelessness of Goo Goo Dolls’ illustrious catalog.
