Originally released in November 2009, Waking Up arrived at a pivotal moment for OneRepublic. Coming off the massive success of their debut, the band found themselves in motion, writing songs between cities, soundchecks, and long stretches on the road. That sense of momentum shaped the record, pushing them toward something bigger, more immediate, and built for the stage. It marked the moment they stopped being seen as a breakout act and started becoming a global one.
Their second album, Waking Up, debuted in the Top 25 of the Billboard 200 and went on to achieve 2x-Platinum certification from the RIAA, but its story didn't peak there. Waking Up has since grown into a true catalog powerhouse, surpassing 5.5 billion global streams and spending 80 weeks on the Billboard 200. Its reach has continued to expand across generations, with 1.3 million TikTok creates and 3.3 billion TikTok views, alongside 28 million creates and 7.6 billion total views across social platforms.
