Good Charlotte

Good Charlotte is an American rock band formed in Waldorf, Maryland, in 1995. The band currently consists of Joel Madden (lead vocals), Benji Madden (guitar, vocals), Paul Thomas (bass), and Billy Martin (guitar, keyboards). The band released their debut album Good Charlotte in 2000. In 2002, they released their second album, The Young and the Hopeless. Featuring the singles "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous", "The Anthem" and "Girls & Boys", The Young and the Hopeless sold 3.5 million copies in the US and was certified triple platinum by the RIAA, for a total of almost 5 million copies sold worldwide. The band followed up with The Chronicles of Life and Death in 2004; a darker album, both musically and lyrically. Backed by the singles "Predictable" and "I Just Wanna Live", The Chronicles of Life and Death continued the band's success, and the album was certified platinum by the RIAA, selling over one million copies in the US alone. In 2007, they released the dance-punk inspired album Good Morning Revival before going back to their pop-punk-roots with the album Cardiology in 2010. After a four-year-long hiatus, the band announced its comeback on November 3, 2015. In 2016, the band released their sixth album, Youth Authority, before releasing their seventh album, Generation Rx, in 2018. In addition, they have released two compilations: Greatest Remixes in 2008 and Greatest Hits in 2010. The band released their eighth album, Motel Du Cap on August 8, 2025.
