SKILLET CELEBRATE 30 MILLION RIAA-CERTIFIED UNITS AS “MONSTER”\u00a0SOARS TO 7X PLATINUM\u00a0

11 New Certifications Arrive Ahead of\u00a0October 9\u00a0Release of “After the Storm” + Fall U.S. Tour<\/em><\/strong>

“Hero”\u00a0Earns 4x Platinum; “Awake and Alive”;\u00a0and “Feel Invincible”\u00a0Hit 3x Platinum as Skillet Continues One of the Strongest Periods of Its Nearly 30-Year Career<\/strong>

Multi-Platinum rock band\u00a0SKILLET<\/strong>\u00a0is celebrating a major milestone with 30 million RIAA-certified units across 21 titles, including 11 newly awarded honors,\u00a0as the band prepares to release its new independent EP,\u00a0After the Storm<\/em><\/strong>,\u00a0October 9.

Leading the new certifications is Skillet’s career-defining smash “Monster<\/strong>,”\u00a0now 7x Platinum, further cementing its place among rock\u2019s most enduring hits. The song has surpassed 5 billion global streams.

The band\u2019s nine newly awarded RIAA certifications include:<\/strong>
“Monster” \u2014 7x Platinum
“Hero” \u2014 4x Platinum
“Awake and Alive”\u00a0\u2014 3x Platinum
“Feel Invincible”\u00a0\u2014 3x Platinum
“Not Gonna Die”\u00a0\u2014 Platinum
“Falling Inside the Black”\u00a0\u2014 Gold
“Finish Line”\u00a0\u2014 Gold
“Rise”\u00a0\u2014 Gold
“Sick of It”\u00a0\u2014 Gold
“Back From the Dead” \u2014 Gold
“Unleashed” \u2014 Platinum

Additionally, “Back From the Dead”\u00a0is Gold and Skillet\u2019s 2016 album\u00a0Unleashed<\/em>\u00a0is Platinum, previously certified milestones that are now being publicly recognized alongside the band’s\u00a0latest honors.

The certifications arrive during one of the strongest periods of global momentum in Skillet’s career. The band currently averages more than 12 million monthly Spotify listeners, while a new generation continues to discover its music through streaming, social media, gaming and sports. Earlier this year, Skillet completed its biggest international run to date, playing to approximately 90,000 fans across 23 European cities, with sold-out shows and record-setting ticket sales at venues including Paris\u2019 Z\u00e9nith.

And while Skillet’s catalog continues to reach new heights, the band is firmly focused on what comes next.

Arriving\u00a0October 9, the six-song After the Storm\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>finds Skillet returning to a heavier, rawer sound while frontman\u00a0John Cooper<\/strong>\u00a0delivers some of the most vulnerable and hopeful songwriting of his career. Produced by David Cowell (Sleep Theory), the project brought Cooper back to his hometown of Memphis to record for the first time since Skillet’s 2003 album\u00a0Collide<\/em><\/strong>.

“This EP is special to me,” says Cooper. “It reignites what Skillet was always meant to be\u2014which is music that helps lift people out of dark times. I wrote these songs because I needed to be lifted out of my darkness.”

The EP’s\u00a0latest single, “Lift Me Up,”\u00a0follows “Scream,”\u00a0which has already surpassed 5 million global streams. Both songs reflect the intensely personal season behind\u00a0After the Storm,<\/em>\u00a0which finds Cooper writing candidly about betrayal, anger, depression, faith, perseverance and ultimately hope.

“Lift Me Up”\u00a0pairs a syncopated groove and crushing guitar riff with Cooper’s declaration:\u00a0“I’m not gonna die tonight. I’m gonna rise above it.”<\/em>

“When I wrote it, so many things were dragging me down,”\u00a0Cooper says. “I was asking God to lift me up.”

“Scream,”\u00a0meanwhile, channels the frustration and volatility Cooper sees permeating modern culture\u2014and his own struggle through a difficult personal season\u2014into an explosive cry for meaning and help.

Skillet will take the new music on the road this fall with a U.S. headline tour beginning in October, bringing together a catalog that now spans multiple generations of fans with the next chapter of the band’s music. Tickets are available\u00a0here<\/a>.

With more than 23 million albums sold worldwide, two GRAMMY Award nominations, a Billboard Music Award, three Top 5 albums on the Billboard 200 and an expanding collection of Gold and Multi-Platinum certifications, Skillet has built one of rock music’s most enduring careers without sacrificing the identity that has defined the band from the beginning.

Nearly three decades into its career, Skillet isn’t looking back on its legacy\u2014 they are writing its next chapter.\u00a0After the Storm<\/em> arrives as the band reaches one of the biggest audiences of its career, pairing extraordinary catalog growth with its most vulnerable and hopeful music to date.

ABOUT SKILLET<\/u>:<\/strong>
Skillet tap into the sound of surviving any adversity, dusting yourself off, and getting back up again for another round. Heavy guitars kick with the inspiration to keep going, while stadium-size hooks double as a reminder to never give up no matter what. The quartet\u2014John Cooper [lead vocals, bass], Korey Cooper [guitar, keys, production], Jen Ledger [drums, vocals], and Seth Morrison [lead guitar]\u2014have quietly, yet indisputably become one of the biggest global hard rock bands of the 21st century with total album over 23 million, an average of 12 million monthly Spotify listeners, and dozens of massive placements across sports, film, and television. Among a catalog highlighted by chart-topping albums and hits, the 6x-Platinum “Monster”\u00a0has eclipsed 5 billion global streams, claimed a place in Spotify\u2019s “Billions Club<\/em>,“<\/em>\u00a0resounded as “one of the most-streamed rock songs of all time<\/em>,”\u00a0and\u00a0the only Christian song in history to cross 1 billion Spotify streams.<\/strong>\u00a0During 2025, their first-ever Christmas release “O Come, O Come Emmanuel”\u00a0made a viral impact and captured #1 on five\u00a0Billboard<\/em>\u00a0charts. The band\u2019s 2026 European tour brought them in front of their biggest international crowds yet\u2014not only selling out shows across the continent, but breaking ticket sales records at venues like Z\u00e9nith Paris. Awarded multiplatinum, platinum, or gold RIAA certifications for 12 singles and four full-length albums, the group have notably garnered two GRAMMY\u00ae Award nominations, earned a\u00a0Billboard<\/em>\u00a0Music Award, and impressively delivered three Top 5 debuts on the\u00a0Billboard<\/em>\u00a0200. Widening the scope of this vision, Skillet launched the graphic novel series\u00a0EDEN<\/em>\u00a0with Z2. Kicking off another chapter, Skillet decided to get heavier and punch harder on their 2026 independent EP,\u00a0After The Storm<\/em>, introduced by the single “Scream.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
