<h3>Formed by John Rzeznik and Robby Takac in 
Buffalo, NY in 1986, Goo Goo Dolls have quietly broken records, 
contributed a string of staples to the American songbook, connected to 
millions of fans, and indelibly impacted popular music for three-plus 
decades.</h3>
 
Beyond
 selling 15 million records worldwide, the group has garnered four 
GRAMMY® Award nominations and nearly a dozen platinum &amp; gold singles
 combined, and seized a page in the history books by achieving 16 number
 one and Top 10 hits. As a result, they hold the all-time radio record for “Most Top 10 Singles.” 
Thus far, A Boy Named Goo [1995] has gone double-platinum, Dizzy Up The Girl five-times-platinum, and Gutterflower [2002] and Let Love In [2006] both went gold as Something for the Rest of Us [2010] and Magnetic
 [2013] bowed in the Top 10 of the Billboard Top 200. Their music 
continues to reach new audiences around the world and rack up platinum 
&amp; gold statuses – including the recently platinum-certified “Slide”,
 “Black Balloon” and “Better Days” – and has been covered by everyone 
from Taylor Swift to Phoebe Bridgers and Maggie Rogers.
Among a string of hits, “Iris” clutched #1 on the Hot 100 for 18 straight weeks and would be named “#1 Top 40 Song of the Last 20 Years.”
 On the heels of going viral on TikTok, the track recently achieved 
seven-times-platinum status and re-entered the Billboard charts, yet 
again proving the timelessness of Goo Goo Dolls’ illustrious catalog.

draw, or do mixed media on your cards, which we will then trade with 
each other(or keep, whatever you choose!) The cards are always the same 
size, 2.5x3.5 and fit in the sleeves made for baseball cards, but you 
don't have to store them there. Add them to a journal, a recipe box, or 
make up your own way of storing them.
