Aerosmith's achievements are a matter of record: over 150 million records sold worldwide, 25 platinum albums in the United States (the most for any American group), and a string of chart-topping singles that span three decades. They are the only American rock band to have a number one single on the Billboard Hot 100 in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. Their 1986 collaboration with Run-DMC on Walk This Way broke racial and genre barriers, helping to popularize rap-rock. The band's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001 recognized their enduring influence, and they have received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Their Las Vegas residency Deuces Are Wild grossed over $130 million, underscoring their continued drawing power.
