In March 2015, Twenty One Pilots' first music since Vessel, was released. On May 17, 2015 the full 14 track album, Blurryface, was released globally. This album enjoyed mainstream success and was a breakout hit for the band, spawning several Billboard Hot 100 hits and eventually becoming the first album to receive RIAA certification for every track. The band released a further five tracks as singles. In August 2016, a song recorded for the movie Suicide Squad was released and peaked at number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100.
