Evanescence's trophy case includes two Grammy wins, a feat that put them in rare company for a hard rock band. Their debut Fallen not only won Best New Artist but also Best Hard Rock Performance, a double that signaled their crossover appeal. The band has been recognized by Kerrang!, Revolver, and Loudwire, with Amy Lee frequently singled out as one of the best vocalists in rock. They've sold over 31 million albums worldwide, making them one of the best-selling hard rock and metal acts ever. Fallen spent 43 non-consecutive weeks in the Billboard 200 top 10, a staggering run for any album. Two of their albums debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, and their single "Bring Me to Life" has surpassed 1 billion streams on Spotify, a milestone few rock songs from the early 2000s have achieved.
