Kick off your 2024 SEMA Week at the Industry Night @ SEMA Featuring The Goo Goo Dolls, an exclusive celebration of car culture, community and collaboration--Tuesday, November 5, on the SEMA Show Campus--featuring tire-smoking drift demos from OPTIMA and live performances of chart-topping music from The Goo Goo Dolls, O.A.R. and Reignwolf. (Buy tickets at SEMAShow.com.)

Ahead of the event, which will offer Showgoers with yet another opportunity to come together, celebrate the aftermarket and forge relationships that will drive the industry forward, SEMA News is sharing an exclusive spotlight on the headlining band from Buffalo, New York.

Formed by John Rzeznik and Robby Takac in 1986, The Goo Goo Dolls have quietly broken records, contributed a string of staples to the American songbook, connected to millions of fans and indelibly impacted popular music for three-plus decades. Beyond selling 15 million records worldwide, the group has garnered four GRAMMY Award nominations and nearly a dozen platinum and gold singles combined, and seized a page in the history books by achieving 16 number one and Top 10 hits. As a result, they hold the all-time radio record for most Top 10 singles.

Thus far, "A Boy Named Goo" (1995) has gone double-platinum, "Dizzy Up The Girl" five-times-platinum, and "Gutterflower" (2002) and Let Love In (2006) both went gold as "Something for the Rest of Us" (2010) and "Magnetic" (2013) bowed in the Top 10 of the Billboard Top 200. Their music continues to reach new audiences around the world and rack up platinum and gold statuses--including the recently platinum-certified "Slide," "Black Balloon" and "Better Days" --and has been covered by everyone from Taylor Swift to Phoebe Bridgers and Maggie Rogers. 

Among a string of hits, "Iris" clutched number one on the Hot 100 for 18 straight weeks and would be named "Number One Top 40 Song of the Last 20 Years." On the heels of going viral on TikTok, the track recently achieved seven-times-platinum status and re-entered the Billboard charts, yet again proving the timelessness of The Goo Goo Dolls' illustrious catalog.
