To date, does anyone know how many albums and singles No Doubt, and now Gwen Stefani, have sold worldwide?

I know Tragic Kingdom sold something like 15m and Return of Saturn was considered a commercial flop, but I never heard how RockSteady sold or how LAMB is doing...

LAMB just passed 1 million in the US. It is also doing well overseas.

And yet the singles aren't doing well, at least on the US charts.
I officialy don't get the Top 100 anymore, was sure there'd be some hits on this....if Pink's Just Like a Pill could hit, why not "What You Waiting For?"

Return of Saturn did go platinum. Rock Steady i think was x3 platinum.

how is the return of saturn cd, i've always thought of getting it.

It's real good and kinda dark a bit long though. Shouldve been 12 songs and Big Distraction which is the hidden track is better than several of the other tracks featured. Besides the stuff that was on the Greatest Hits CD Six Feet Under and Home Now are real winners.

dancerella said:

The lyrics are a bit corny (most of the songs are about Gavin Rossdale) but overall it's pretty good. It sounds nothing like Tragic Kingdom or RockSteady.

Because Pink can sing.

EmeraldCity said:

C'mon. That's a little unfair. It's like oranges and apples, they go for totally different effects. Pink's a bit of an "oversinger" in my book -- she's got a touch of the whitegirl "Chili's babyback ribs" syndrome. Which isn't to say that's not fun sometimes. But when I want to hear new wave sillyness, I'll take Gwen.

How in the world did it flop?Mtv was pushing the hell out of that Ex-Girlfriend track and I hated that shit.

From what I've read it was a flop, especially compared to Tragic Kingdom. I don't know about America but it had virtually no chart life in the UK.

kinaldo said:

I think "Simple Kind of Life" was a minor hit, which helped it stay on US charts a little longer. And that's the song that made sorta-kinda interested in them.

MendesCity said:

There was that other song too i think it was called Bubble Bath it wasn't big but it did good

ABeautifulOne said:

The song was "Bathwater" and was pretty good, but I don't think it became a big hit in the US.

In fact, "Simple Kind Of Life", which I think had a sell through single, only hit #38. "Ex-Girlfriend" hit number two on the Alternative charts while "Bathwater" only hit #39 on the Adult Top 40, and those were the only charts those two songs made it to.

I saw the "Bathwater" video one time on VH1's "Insomniac Music Theater" back in 2000 -- and that was the first (and last time) I ever saw it aired.

"Return To Saturn" is Gwen's pity-party record. If you thought "Don't Speak" and "Happy Now?" were sulky, RTS is chock full! But, I did enjoy "Magic's In The Makeup," "New" and "Simple Kind of Life" so it had its moments.

I thought I was the only one who noticed that

kinaldo said:

compared to tragic kingdom(10x plus) all the albums after sold modest amounts.
rock steady having 3 hit singles here in the u.s kept it at bay on the charts i guess.


return to saturn i could never get fully into.looking at it now its way to polished and personal id say. "New" stands out cause it was a leftover from the post tragic kingdom recording sessions and the GO sdtrk.

yeah i have that single.

the best thing about the return of saturn singles was then having b-sides.

I loved Hella Good thought that song never gets old to me.Who produced it?

Return to Saturn is really underrated. I think people didn't take to it because it's kind of ballad heavy. Unlike their other albums, it's not exactly a "party" atmosphere sounding record. Which is good, I'd hate to see them repeat themselves all the time. It's a great album, but you have to let it grow on you little....

I saw "Bathwater" a handful of times and I think it was during the day, in fact I think I saw it more than "Ex-Girlfriend" (I was just probably watching more TV at the time of the "Bathwater" video though).

I think it was the Neptunes.

Thanx I thought it was
