Lifehouse
Band Los Angeles United States Formed 1996
Lifehouse formed in 1996 in Los Angeles, United States. Lifehouse has 43 chart appearances on 37 radio countdowns from 26 stations on RockLists, spanning 2000–2019. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “Hanging By a Moment”, which appears on 27 lists and was voted number one once. In total the artist has topped 1 countdown. The station that charted Lifehouse most often is WHTG (Monmouth-Ocean, NJ), with 3 appearances. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 2001.
Lifehouse came out of Los Angeles with Jason Wade's voice front and center, a throaty, post-grunge rasp wrapped around melodies built for pop radio. Wade, who also plays rhythm guitar and piano, has been the one constant, and the band's lineup has since settled around drummer Rick Woolstenhulme Jr., bassist Bryce Soderberg and lead guitarist Steve Stout.
The debut, No Name Face, arrived in 2000 led by "Hanging by a Moment", a slow-building song that surges into a chorus big enough for arenas. It went to number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and ended up the best-performing single of 2001 without ever reaching the top, a rare feat. "Sick Cycle Carousel" showed a moodier, more churning side of the same record.
Stanley Climbfall followed in 2002, with "Spin", and the self-titled third album in 2005 brought the tender "You and Me". Who We Are, Smoke and Mirrors, Almería and Out of the Wasteland kept them going through 2015, and their earnest, radio-ready sound made them a fixture of adult contemporary playlists, the kind you hear drifting through a supermarket aisle.
