Their third studio album When the World Comes Down was released in 2008 and was later certified platinum by the RIAA. Its lead single 'Gives You Hell' became The All-American Rejects' most successful song to date, peaking at number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and the top 5 in many other countries. 'Gives You Hell' was certified 4× multi-platinum for sales of over 4 million in the United States by the RIAA. Kids in the Street, the band's fourth studio album, was released March 26, 2012 and debuted at number 18 on the US Billboard 200 chart.
