Blink-182, an American rock band, have released seven studio albums, one live album, two compilation albums, three video albums, two extended plays (EPs), twenty-four singles, six promotional singles, and twenty-two music videos. Their recording material was distributed mainly by subdivisions of Universal Music Group, including Geffen Records, Interscope Records, and DGC Records. They have also released material under MCA Records, Cargo Music and its subdivision Grilled Cheese, Kung Fu Records, and BMG. The band currently consists of bassist and vocalist Mark Hoppus, drummer Travis Barker, and guitarist and vocalist Matt Skiba. Founded by Hoppus, guitarist and vocalist Tom DeLonge, and drummer Scott Raynor, the band emerged from the Southern California punk scene of the early 1990s and first gained notoriety for high-energy live shows and irreverent lyrical toilet humor. Blink-182 has sold over 13 million albums in the United States, and over 50 million albums worldwide. The band is known for bringing the genre of pop punk into the mainstream.
The band recorded three demos, including the commercially available Buddha, before signing to San Diego-based independent label Cargo Music in 1994. Cargo issued the band's debut album, Cheshire Cat, in 1995. The band signed with major label MCA Records to co-distribute 1997's Dude Ranch. The album was their first to chart on the Billboard 200, peaking at number 67.Dude Ranch also featured their first radio hit, "Dammit", which helped the album reach Platinum status in the United States. The following album, Enema of the State (1999), was met with more commercial success, reaching top ten positions in several countries, including the United States. Its singles, "What's My Age Again?", "All the Small Things", and "Adam's Song", became airplay and MTV staples. "All The Small Things" became the most successful of the three, reaching number-one on the Alternative Songs chart, but also became a crossover hit and peaked at number six on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.Enema of the State is Blink-182's most successful album, certified five times platinum in the United States for having shipped five million units.
