The trio reunited in 2009, and their sixth studio album, Neighborhoods, was released in 2011. DeLonge left the group in 2005, sending the band into what was termed an "indefinite hiatus." "Feeling This" and "I Miss You", along with "All The Small Things" and " Bored To Death", remain the best-selling of the group's singles, which have all been certified Gold by the RIAA. The album spawned four singles: " Feeling This", " I Miss You", " Down", and " Always", with "I Miss You" having the greatest success and narrowly missing the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100. The eponymously titled Blink-182 followed in 2003 and marked a stylistic shift for the group, infusing experimental elements into their usual pop punk formula, resulting in a more mature sound. The first two singles, (" The Rock Show" and " First Date") achieved moderate success internationally, while its third and final single " Stay Together for the Kids" had a weaker impact. In its first week, the album sold more than 350,000 copies in the United States, eventually being certified double Platinum by the RIAA. Their fourth album, Take Off Your Pants and Jacket (2001), reached the number-one spot in the United States, Canada, and Germany. 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. "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.
Its singles, " What's My Age Again?", " All the Small Things", and " Adam's Song", became airplay and MTV staples. 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. Dude Ranch also featured their first radio hit, " Dammit", which helped the album reach Platinum status in the United States. The album was their first to chart on the Billboard 200, peaking at number 67. The band signed with major label MCA Records to co-distribute 1997's Dude Ranch. Cargo issued the band's debut album, Cheshire Cat, in 1995. The band recorded three demos, including the commercially available Buddha, before signing to San Diego-based independent label Cargo Music in 1994. The band is known for bringing the genre of pop punk into the mainstream. Blink-182 has sold over 13 million albums in the United States, and over 50 million albums worldwide. 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. The band currently consists of bassist and vocalist Mark Hoppus, drummer Travis Barker, and guitarist and vocalist Matt Skiba. They have also released material under MCA Records, Cargo Music and its subdivision Grilled Cheese, Kung Fu Records, and BMG. Their recording material was distributed mainly by subdivisions of Universal Music Group, including Geffen Records, Interscope Records, and DGC Records.
