Garbage is a Scottish and American[ 1] rock band formed in Madison, Wisconsin , in 1993. The group's discography consists of seven studio albums , three compilation albums , one remix album , one extended play , 37 singles , four promotional singles , three video albums , and 38 music videos (many of which are alternate versions to the same song). The line-up consists of Scottish vocalist Shirley Manson and Americans Duke Erikson , Steve Marker , and Butch Vig . They have amassed worldwide album sales of over 17 million units.[ 2]
Garbage released a string of increasingly successful singles in 1995 and 1996, including "Queer ", "Only Happy When It Rains ", and "Stupid Girl ". Their debut album, Garbage , charted in the top 20 in six countries and was certified double platinum in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia. Garbage spent two years working on their follow-up album, Version 2.0 , which charted in the top 20 in 12 countries and was certified platinum in four countries and the European Union .
The band recorded the theme song of the 1999 James Bond film The World Is Not Enough .[ 3] The band's third album, Beautiful Garbage (2001), failed to match the commercial success achieved by its predecessors.[ 4] Garbage quietly disbanded in late 2003, but regrouped to complete their fourth album Bleed Like Me in 2005, peaking at a career-high number four on the Billboard 200 .[ 5] The band cut short their concert tour in support of Bleed Like Me announcing an "indefinite hiatus".[ 6] Garbage reconvened in 2007[ 7] and released a greatest hits compilation Absolute Garbage .[ 8] The band's fifth studio album, Not Your Kind of People , was released on 14 May 2012 through the band's own label, Stunvolume.[ 9]
