Blurryface – which followed Twenty One Pilots’ Fueled By Ramen debut album, 2013’s RIAA Platinum certified Vessel – made a stunning chart debut upon its initial release, entering the SoundScan/Billboard 200 at #1. The album also achieved a milestone unrivaled in the digital era, becoming the first album in which every individual song on the album certified Gold, Platinum or multi-Platinum by the RIAA.
Blurryface spawned a series of hit singles, beginning withTear In My Heart which went Gold in New Zealand, followed by the double platinum hits, Ride, Heathens and GRAMMY® Award-winning Stressed Out. The latter track – which reached #2 on Billboard’s Hot 100 – in the US spent three months at #1 at Modern Rock while also topping the charts at CHR/Top 40 and Hot AC. Stressed Out was a worldwide breakthrough for Twenty One Pilots, earning gold, platinum, and multi-platinum certifications in countries spanning Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. The Stressed Out companion video was an equivalent success, now boasting close to 1.4 billion views at YouTubealone.
Ride spent five consecutive weeks atop the charts at Modern Rock radio outlets nationwide in the US – the band’s second #1 single at the format in 2016 – while also ascending to #5 on the overall Hot 100. Another global smash, Ride is certified 4x platinum by the RIAA and double platinum in New Zealand. In addition, the track’s companion video – directed by Reel Bear Media – has now garnered over 657 million views via Twenty One Pilots’ hugely popular YouTube channel.
Ride was then followed by still another world-conquering hit single, Heathens, featured on Atlantic Records’ blockbuster Suicide Squad: The Album. The 6x RIAA platinum certified single – which received three GRAMMY® Award nominations including “Best Rock Performance” (Tyler Joseph, songwriter) – spent four consecutive weeks at #2 on the Hot 100 while also topping Billboard’s Hot Rock Songs for a record-shattering 28 consecutive weeks and counting. The unprecedented one-two punch of Ride and Heathens made Billboard history, establishing Twenty One Pilots as only the third rock act with simultaneous top 5 Hot 100 singles in the chart's 58-year history, following only the Beatles and Elvis Presley.
Heathens -- which hit #1 on the iTunes chart in over 60 countries – also rose to #5 in the United Kingdom and the top 10 in over 15 countries, with platinum and multi-platinum certification in Australia, Canada, Italy, and New Zealand. In addition, the Heathens companion video received the 2016 MTV Video Music Award for “Best Rock Video” and has now earned more than 1 billion individual views via YouTube alone.
2017 saw the release of yet another Blurryface hit in Heavydirtysoul. Like its predecessor, the RIAA platinum certified single’s companion video received the 2017 MTV Video Music Award for “Best Rock Video” with views now exceeding 84 million via YouTube.
Twenty One Pilots received a number of major awards and nominations over recent years, with Stressed Out earning them the 2017 GRAMMY® Award for “Best Pop Duo/Group Performance” alongside four additional nods. Other honours include seven total Billboard Music Awards including 2016’s “Top Rock Artist”and “Top Rock Album” (for Blurryface) and 2017’s “Chart Achievement Award,” “Top Duo/Group,” “Top Radio Songs Artist,” “Top Rock Artist,” and “Top Rock Song” (for Heathens); multiple Alternative Press Music Awards including “Album of the Year Presented By Journeys” (forBlurryface), “Artist of the Year Presented By Monster Energy,” and “Most Dedicated Fans”; 2016 American Music Awards for “Favorite Alternative Artist” and “Favorite Pop/Rock/Band/Duo/Group”; six iHeart Radio Music Awards (including “Alternative Rock Song of the Year” in both 2016 and 2017); 2016’s Kerrang! Award for “Best Fanbase,” and two MTV Europe Music Awards.
