Breaking Benjamin Earns RIAA Gold for Awaken

The single Awaken was the first new piece of music released by Breaking Benjamin following a worldwide deal signed with BMG in 2024. This agreement signed with BMG in 2024 was the band's first record label change in the last two decades. The release of Awaken in October 2024 and its four consecutive weeks at number one on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay chart followed this 2024 worldwide agreement with BMG.
