Waking Up - original program

Annual version match under review
The selected recording has release evidence, but its version has not been matched to the retained annual entry. It is omitted from Beyond the yearly lists until this match is resolved.
The selected original 2009 recording credits the band alone. A documented 2011 B.O.B. remix exists during the actual annual candidate's year, but that retained row has no edition details. Preserve its real candidate provisionally instead of assuming the guest is absent from the audio.

Good Life - separately credited remix
Label-licensed 2011 remix explicitly features B.O.B. Read only to distinguish it from the selected original 2009 group recording and to scope annual ambiguity. | Reviewed 2026-10-18
About OneRepublic
OneRepublic combines Ryan Tedder's singing and songwriting with a band arrangement that includes guitars, keyboards, bass, cello and drums. Its 2007 debut, Dreaming Out Loud, included Apologize. Waking Up followed with All the Right Moves, Secrets and Good Life, while Native introduced Counting Stars. The group's later work also reached film audiences through I Ain't Worried in Top Gun: Maverick, extending a catalog built around vocal melodies and ensemble playing.
