This remarkable achievement places the band in the elite Spotify “Billions Club,” joining an exclusive list of songs that have reached this level of streaming success. It is noteworthy that this makes Three Days Grace the second Canadian band to achieve such success, a testament to their international appeal and enduring popularity. The track, originally released in 2003, has been a mainstay in the rock genre, capturing the angst and emotions of audiences worldwide.

Since their formation, Three Days Grace has become synonymous with hard-hitting rock anthems and emotive ballads. The band from Ontario, Canada, formed by Adam Gontier, Brad Walst, Neil Sanderson, and later completed by Barry Stock, managed to strike a chord with an eclectic mix of fans across the globe. They have amassed not only staggering streaming numbers but also millions in album sales. Their success is further emphasized by having secured nineteen number one hits on the Mediabase Active Rock chart, showcasing their dominance in the rock music sphere. Songs like “Pain,” “Animal I Have Become,” and “Never Too Late,” among others, have become staples in rock playlists everywhere.

The journey of Three Days Grace is marked by significant changes and memorable milestones. Notably, the band saw the return of their original singer, Adam Gontier, which was a delightful surprise for the fans. Gontier's return revitalized the band's sound, leading to the announcement of their new album “Alienation,” set to launch a new era in their music. This album promises to deliver the band's signature powerful rock sound infused with a sense of nostalgia. Alongside new singles like “Mayday” and “Apologies,” the anticipation for this new record is building, especially with the production talents of Zakk Cervini, Dan Lancaster, and Howard Benson behind some of the new tracks.

The band's success is not limited to their recordings; they have also been highly successful on tour, selling out arenas across multiple continents. Recently, they performed alongside Disturbed during the “The Sickness 25th Anniversary Tour,” thrilling audiences with their energetic live performances. Such achievements are reflections of a career that spans decades, a testament to the band’s enduring legacy in the rock music scene. Their ability to fill some of the largest venues in the world speaks volumes of their popularity and the loyalty of their fanbase.

In terms of their broader musical journey, Three Days Grace's formation and their evolution have been pivotal. Initially starting as a high school band called Groundswell in 1992, they eventually reformed into the iconic band known today. However, the road hasn't been without its challenges. Gontier’s admissions in 2005 revealed some dark times dealing with addiction, which influenced the thematic elements of their later music. His departure in 2013 was due to creative differences and a desire to pursue new projects rather than personal issues, forming the band Saint Asonia as a result.

Three Days Grace's impact on the rock genre is significant, and their legacy continues to be built upon one significant hit after another. With their latest milestone of one billion streams on Spotify for “I Hate Everything About You,” they have cemented their place in rock history. As they continue to evolve, the expectations for their new projects and live performances remain high, ensuring that Three Days Grace's music will resonate with fans old and new, cementing their place as titans in the world of rock music.
