Formed in 1995, the Boston-based Godsmack paved the way for a generation of rock bands with early hits like “Keep Away,” “Whatever,” “Voodoo” and “Spiral,” as well as “I Stand Alone” off “The Scorpion King” soundtrack. Named Billboard’s Rock Artist of the Year in 2001, the group has produced a collection of high-octane tunes for more than 20 years including its 2010 album The Oracle, which rounded out a streak of three consecutive number-one debuts on the Billboard Top 200. Its most recent release is 2018’s When Legends Rise, which features the number-one rock song “Bulletproof” and debuted in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200.
