The band was integral in establishing a global, critical mass for women in rock. The group\u2019s 2003 landmark debut album <em>Fallen<\/em> laid the foundation; spending 43 weeks on <em>Billboard<\/em>\u2019s top 10, the album sold more than 17 million copies worldwide and was certified 7x platinum in the United States. Global hit \u201cBring Me to Life\u201d (featuring guest vocals from Paul McCoy of 12 Stones) reached number five on the <em>Billboard<\/em> Hot 100 and marked its first UK number-one. The song also became the official theme for WWE No Way Out 2003. The equally popular \u201cMy Immortal\u201d peaked at number seven in the US and UK, and both songs were featured on the soundtrack for the action movie <em>Daredevil<\/em>. The album produced four singles total, including \u201cGoing Under\u201d (number five on the US Modern Rock chart, number eight in the UK) and \u201cEverybody\u2019s Fool\u201d (number 36 on the US Modern Rock chart, number 23 in the UK). <em>Fallen<\/em> is one of only eight albums in the history of the chart to spend at least a year in <em>Billboard<\/em>\u2019s top 50; it spent 104 weeks on the <em>Billboard<\/em> 200 and is number 32 on the chart\u2019s \u201cGreatest of All Time.\u201d<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><strong><u>ABOUT LINDSEY STIRLING<\/u><\/strong><br \/>\nLindsey Stirling remains fearless enough to always dream big. In the more than five years since the release of her 2012 eponymous debut album, the electronic music impresario, violinist, dancer, and artist quietly and humbly became one of the 21st century\u2019s most innovative stars by clinging to her groundbreaking vision of cinematic violin-driven electronic music. After bowing at number two on the <em>Billboard <\/em>200 and number one on the Dance\/Electronic Album chart, holding the top slot on the Classical Album chart for 21 consecutive weeks, and receiving a <em>Billboard <\/em>Music Award for Top Dance\/Electronic Album, her sophomore opus <em>Shatter Me<\/em> would not only garner an RIAA Gold certification, but it would rank as the number-two dance\/electronic album and number-one classical album on <em>Billboard<\/em>\u2019s 2015 year-end charts. Attracting over 10 million subscribers and two billion\u2013plus views on YouTube, that same year Stirling held the number-four slot on <em>Forbes<\/em>\u2019s yearly YouTube artists list, which made her the highest-ranked female.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HIGHLAND PARK, IL \u2013 Transcendent, two-time Grammy Award\u2013winning rock band Evanescence and acclaimed Billboard Award\u2013winning electronic violinist Lindsey Stirling will make their Ravinia debuts on July 10.
