OneRepublicis an Americanpop rockband fromColorado Springs, Colorado.[3]Formed in 2002 byRyan TedderandZach Filkins, the band achieved commercial success onMyspaceas an unsigned act.[4]In late 2003, after OneRepublic played shows throughout the Los Angeles area, a number of record labels approached the band with interest, but OneRepublic ultimately signed with Velvet Hammer, an imprint ofColumbia Records. They made their first album with producerGreg Wellsduring the summer and fall of 2005 at his studio, Rocket Carousel, in Culver City, California. The album was originally scheduled for release on June 6, 2006, but the group was dropped by Columbia two months before the album ever came out. The lead single of that album, "Apologize", was released in 2005. It received some recognition on Myspace in 2006.In 2007, OneRepublic released their debut album,Dreaming Out Loud. Its lead single "Apologize" was notably remixed byTimbaland, becoming a huge international success, reaching number one in sixteen countries, subsequently earning them aGrammy Awardnomination.[5]The second single, "Stop and Stare" mirrored its predecessor's success. The album was later certifiedPlatinumby theRecording Industry Association of America(RIAA). The band's second album,Waking Up(2009), produced the successful singles, "All the Right Moves", "Secrets", "Marchin On", and "Good Life", with Good Life reaching the top ten of the USBillboardHot 100.OneRepublic's third album,Native(2013), became the band's first top ten album on theBillboard200, and highest charting album to date, charting at number four. 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 U.S. and the UK. This marks their highest charting single in the United Kingdom to date. It has also peaked at number 2 on the USBillboardHot 100, matching their highest peak of "Apologize" in 2007.Contents[hide] 1History 1.12002: Origins 1.2200207: Reformation 1.3200709:Dreaming Out Loud 1.4200911:Waking Up 1.52013present:Nativeand fourth studio album 2Musical style and influences 3Band members 3.1Timeline 4Discography 4.1Studio albums 5Tours 6Awards and nominations 7References 8External linksHistory[edit]2002: Origins[edit]The first incarnation of what evolved intoOneRepublicformed in 2002 afterRyan TedderandZach Filkinsbefriended each other during theirsenioryear atColorado Springs Christian High SchoolinColorado Springs,Colorado.[6]During a drive home, as Filkins and Tedder discussed favorite musicians includingFiona Apple,Peter GabrielandU2, they decided to put together a band. They enlisted a few musical friends and named their rock actThis Beautiful Messa phrase which first attained cult prominence a year earlier whenSixpence None the Richerreleased its award-winning second album,This Beautiful Mess.[6]Tedder, Filkins & Co. had a few small gigs at Pikes Perk Coffee & Tea House, attended by friends and family. Senior year ended, and Tedder and Filkins parted ways, each attending different colleges.[7]200207: Reformation[edit]Reuniting in Los Angeles in 2002, Tedder and Filkins reformed their second band under the monikerRepublic. Tedder, by then an established songwriter and record producer, had convinced Filkins who was living inChicagoto relocate. Nine months later, the band signed with Columbia Records. After a few line-up changes, the group finally settled with Tedder on vocals, Filkins on lead guitar and backing vocals,Eddie Fisheron drums,Brent Kutzleon bass and cello, and Drew Brown on guitar. The band's name was changed toOneRepublicafter the record company mentioned that the nameRepublicmight cause controversy with other bands.[8]The band worked in the studio for two and a half years and recorded its first full-length album. Two months before the album was due to be released, (with "Sleep" as its debut single), OneRepublic was dropped by Columbia Records. The band was beginning to gain prominence onMySpace; Tedder said it was the number-one unsigned act on MySpace, and credits the website for keeping the band together.[4]The band caught the attention of a number of labels, includingTimbaland'sMosley Music Group. The band soon signed onto the label, becoming the first rock band to do so.[9]200709:Dreaming Out Loud[edit]OneRepublic's debut albumDreaming Out Loudwas released on November 20, 2007, and debuted at number 14 in the US with first week sales of 75,000.[10]Critical reception to the album ranged from negative to mixed.Allmusicgave the album a modest review, stating the "album sounds derivative" but also "sounds cohesive and smoothly pleasant".[11]Robert Christgaugave the album a negative review, and termed it a "dud".[12]Rolling Stonegave the album 2 out of 5 stars, but placed the band in its "Artists to Watch" list, which featured ten artists that, according to the magazine, "...are bringing the future of music, today."[13]Their lead single, "Apologize", was released in its original version from the band's debut albumDreaming Out Loud. Timbaland, who at the time was one of the most highly visible artists/producers, approached the band to be featured on a compilation album he was working on,Shock Value. Timbaland rearranged the song slightly to give it more of an R&B feel adding backing vocals, guitar bass line and new drum section. This along with the strong backing of the Timbaland name made it a major hit both in the United States and internationally. It peaked a number one globally, including eight consecutive weeks on theBillboardPop 100chart, subsequently reaching the top three of theBillboardHot 100. The song sold five million copies in the United States alone, receiving a five-times Platinum certification from theRIAA.[14]The song was a massive hit internationally, reaching number one in sixteen countries, including Australia, Austria, Germany, Italy, New Zealand and Sweden. It also spent thirteen weeks at number one in Canada. It has since been certified over 2x Platinum in 6 countries worldwide, including 4x Platinum in Australia. The song ultimately earned the band their first Grammy nomination for best pop performance in a group or duo. The second single from the album, "Stop and Stare", released in March 2008, reached the top ten in eight countries worldwide, including charting at number four in the United Kingdom, and topping theUK Rock Chart. It also reached number twelve on theBillboardHot 100, and number nine on the Pop 100. Additional singles included "Say (All I Need)" and "Mercy".
