Asking Alexandria have earned a place among the most streamed, downloaded, watched, and altogether listened to bands in a generation, combining the innovation of modern active rock with the traditional attitude of the culture's trailblazers. Asking Anthems "The Final Episode" and "Not the American Average" were both certified gold by the RIAA for single sales in excess of 500,000 each. The music videos for those two singles alone amassed over 100 million views on YouTube. "The Death of Me," "Moving On," and "A Prophecy" together account for over 100 million more. The videos from The
Black were viewed 70 million times. Made with producer Matt Good, Asking Alexandria's self-titled fifth album is an unbridled celebration of acceptance, of the strength of diversity and the freedom of "leaning into the crazy" (as Worsnop puts it), instead of struggling for conformity.
