The Fray, a Grammy-nominated rock band from Denver, Colorado, rose to fame in the mid-2000s with their signature blend of emotive, piano-driven pop-rock. This listing includes all tracks from their 2005 4x Platinum debut, How to Save a Life and their 2009 Gold-certified self-titled album, The Fray.

“How to Save a Life” is The Fray’s signature hit, peaking at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earning 5× Platinum certification in the United States and 4× Platinum in the UK. Released in 2005 as the second single from the band’s debut album of the same name, the song spent 58 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100—a record at the time for the second-longest chart run in history—and was named the No. 1 digital download of 2006 by Billboard. It became a pop culture mainstay thanks to high-profile placements in hit TV dramas such as Grey’s Anatomy, Scrubs, One Tree Hill, and House. The song was also nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal in 2007.

“Look After You” is a romantic ballad by The Fray, released as the third single from their debut album How to Save a Life (2005). The song’s sweeping orchestration and intimate lyrics made it a popular choice for wedding playlists and romantic television moments. It has been featured in several high-profile media placements, including One Tree Hill, Scrubs, and the film Jumper (2008), where it played during a pivotal emotional scene.

“You Found Me” was released in December 2008 as the lead single from The Fray’s self-titled sophomore album. It debuted at No. 28 and peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the band’s highest-charting single since “How to Save a Life.” It also reached No. 1 on the Adult Top 40 and earned multi-Platinum certification from the RIAA, cementing its status as a mainstream radio staple.
