With over 100 million albums sold and more than 5,000 concerts under their belt, the band have toured nearly every corner of the globe. Their electrifying performances have lit up stages in Rio de Janeiro, Tokyo, Moscow, Washington, Dubai, Paris, and Berlin, among others. In the United States, numerous celebrated bands such as Smashing Pumpkins, Green Day, Korn, System of a Down, and Queensrÿche have covered Scorpions songs. Their anthem Rock You Like a Hurricane alone has more than 150 recorded versions.

In a historic moment in 1988, Scorpions became the first Western rock band to play five sold-out shows in the then-Soviet Union, staging concerts in Leningrad. They also broke new ground in China and Southeast Asia, becoming the first Western band to perform in many places there.
