had a few small gigs at Pikes Perk Coffee & Tea House, attended by friends and family. They enlisted a few musical friends and named their rock act This Beautiful Mess-a phrase which first attained cult prominence a year earlier when Sixpence None the Richer released its award-winning second album, This Beautiful Mess. During a drive home, as Filkins and Tedder discussed favorite musicians including Fiona Apple, Peter Gabriel, and U2, they decided to assemble a band. The first incarnation of what evolved into OneRepublic formed in 1996 after Ryan Tedder and Zach Filkins befriended each other during their senior year at Colorado Springs Christian High School in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The band has sold approximately over 16 million records worldwide. Their fifth studio album, Human, was released in 2021. In 2017, the band released the singles " No Vacancy", "Truth to Power", " Stranger Things" with Kygo and " Rich Love" with Seeb. Preceded by the singles " Wherever I Go", released on May 13, 2016, and " Kids", released on August 12, 2016, it was recognized as a change in their sound from previous albums by critics and by the band. On October 7, 2016, OneRepublic released Oh My My, their fourth studio album, which featured a number of collaborators, including Cassius, Peter Gabriel, and Santigold. It also peaked at number 2 on the US Billboard Hot 100, matching their highest peak of "Apologize" in 2007. This marks their highest-charting single in the United Kingdom to date. The lead single, " If I Lose Myself", charted within the top ten in several countries, while the album's third single, " Counting Stars", became the band's most successful single in recent years, obtaining top-five placements in Australia, Canada, Germany, Ireland, New Zealand, the US, and the UK. OneRepublic's third album, Native (2013), became the band's first top ten album on the Billboard 200, and highest-charting album to date, charting at number four. The band's second album, Waking Up (2009), produced the singles " All the Right Moves", " Secrets", " Marchin On", and " Good Life", with the last reaching the top ten of the US Billboard Hot 100. The album was later certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The second single, " Stop and Stare", mirrored its predecessor's success.
Its lead single, "Apologize", was remixed by Timbaland, becoming a huge international success, reaching number one in sixteen countries and subsequently earning them a Grammy Award nomination. In 2007, OneRepublic released their debut album, Dreaming Out Loud. The lead single of that album, " Apologize", was released on April 30, 2006, on Myspace, eventually reaching number one on the Myspace charts. The album was scheduled for release on June 6, 2006, but the group was dropped by Columbia two months before the album was released. They made their first album with producer Greg Wells during the summer and fall of 2005 at his studio, Rocket Carousel, in Culver City, California. In late 2002, after OneRepublic played shows throughout the Los Angeles area, several record labels approached the band with interest, but the band signed with Velvet Hammer, an imprint of Columbia Records. The band achieved its first commercial success on Myspace as an unsigned act. The lineup currently consists of Ryan Tedder (lead vocals, piano), Zach Filkins (lead guitar, viola), Drew Brown (rhythm guitar), Brent Kutzle (bass, cello), Eddie Fisher (drums), and Brian Willett (keyboards, violin).
OneRepublic is an American pop rock band formed in Colorado Springs, Colorado, in 2002.
