Congrats to Spiritbox! The band around vocalist Courtney LaPlante has officially locked in their very first Gold Single – even if the RIAA certification is still pending. “Circle With Me” was released on the band’s debut album Eternal Blue and remains one of the biggest fan favorites to this day.

Spontaneous Success

On Spotify, the single has already racked up over 100 million streams as the band’s most popular track, while the music video has collected almost 20 million views on YouTube. And all of that, even though the track only became the album’s lead single at the very last minute.

Spiritbox’s label, Pale Chord, wrote on X:

"A fun story - Hurt You was going to be the first single off Eternal Blue, we had a video set to go and the night before Mike called me and said "I think we need to shift to Circle With Me". I could not disagree, also a very good song. So in 24 hours notice we shifted gears and the next day showed up and filmed Circle With Me instead. We are awaiting the official RIAA certification but CWM is now a Gold single. Trust your gut!"
