Evanescence’s breakout hit “Bring Me to Life” has been certified 11x platinum in the United States, pushing it beyond a diamond certification. The achievement marks an astronomical leap, as its previous certification was in 2019 for 3x platinum.
A platinum certification verifies one million equivalent sales, while diamond certifies 10 million. The math becomes more impressive upon learning that streams of a song often take between 150 and 1500 listens to equal just a single unit.
“Bring Me to Life” was the enormous first single from Evanescence which single-handedly shot the Amy Lee-fronted hard rock band to superstardom. The song has remained not only Evanescence’s signature hit but also a staple on rock radio for over 20 years. It passed the one billion streams mark on Spotify in 2024 and propelled the band’s debut album Fallen to diamond certification back in 2022.
Evanescence are currently in the midst of the North American leg of a world tour featuring Spiritbox, Poppy, K. Flay and Nova Twins as support. The outing, which we named one of the 10 must-see metal and hard rock tours of Summer 2026, comes in support of the band’s newest album Sanctuary. which we named one of the 20 best metal and hard rock albums of 2026 so far.
