As a platinum-selling band, Jimmy Eat World is celebrating three decades and 10 albums in 2023. The band’s commercial breakthrough came with the release of several singles from their album “Bleed American” with “The Middle” hitting No. 1 on the Billboard Alternative Airplay chart and peaking at No. 5 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, where it spent 33 weeks total and became RIAA-certified platinum.
