The album's second single, "Stop and Stare," was a big hit too, selling more than two million digital downloads worldwide.
In 2009, OneRepublic released its second album, "Waking Up," which produced more internationally successful singles such as "All the Right Moves", "Secrets" and "Marchin On."
The band's third album, "Native," was released in 2013 and includes its biggest hit in recent years, "Counting Stars." The song reached the top 10 in 20 countries and became one of the most played songs of the year.
The band's lead vocalist, Ryan Tedder, has written and produced songs for many famous artists, including Adele, One Direction and Beyoncé.
The band is being brought to Israel by producers Shay Mor Yosef and Guy Beser.
