Collective Soul          

Multi-Platinum Alt-Rock Band, Known for "Shine," "December" & "The World I Know"

Collective Soul, an acclaimed rock band, has been consistently contributing to the music scene since their inception in 1992. Their debut album, "Hints, Allegations, and Things Left Unsaid," received international recognition, leading to a re-release by Atlantic Records in 1994. The band's second self-titled album, "Collective Soul," released in 1995, achieved triple platinum status, including hits such as "December" and "The World I Know." Their fourth album, "Dosage" in 1999, featured the single "Heavy," which topped the Mainstream Rock chart for a record-breaking 15 weeks. In addition, Collective Soul established their independent label, El Music Group, in 2004, granting them greater control over their music production and distribution.

The band's extensive history of touring has seen them perform at major events like Woodstock 1994 and 1999. In 2005, Collective Soul shared the stage with the Atlanta Symphony Youth Orchestra, a performance released as "Home: A Live Concert Recording With The Atlanta Symphony Youth Orchestra" in 2006. Their single "Hollywood" was selected as the theme song for "American Idol," and they performed it on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" in 2007. In recognition of their contributions to music, Collective Soul was inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame in September 2009. Their music has also been featured on various soundtracks, including "Scream 2" and "Twilight."

Collective Soul's discography continues to expand with their latest album, "Vibrating," released in 2022, and their first double album, "Here to Eternity," released in 2024. Their previous album, "Blood," released in 2019, peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Top Independent Albums chart. The band's hit singles, such as "Shine," "December," "The World I Know," and "Where the River Flows," have all reached No. 1 on the Mainstream Rock chart, further cementing their status in the genre. In addition to their commercial success, Collective Soul has won numerous awards, including the ASCAP Pop Music Award for "Shine" as the Most Performed Song in 1996, and multiple BMI Pop Awards in 2020 for "Shine," "December," and "The World I Know."
