"Addicted" was Saving Abel's debut single, sitting second in line on the band's self-titled debut album, and Virgin put it out in 2008. Skidd Mills produced it, and he's one of its writers too: the song earned him a BMI Pop Award as one of the most played songs.
It became the band's calling card, climbing the Billboard Hot 100 as far as number 20 for their first top-twenty hit, the only time they made that chart, and it landed at 97 on Billboard's year-end list of the top hits of 2008. It made the trip to Australia as well, debuting at 93 on the ARIA chart in January 2009 and working up to 48. The RIAA certified it platinum in February 2009 and raised that to five times platinum in 2026.
