Garbage is a Scottish-American alternative rock band formed in Madison, Wisconsin in 1994. The group's discography consists of five studio albums, two compilation albums, one extended play, thirty singles, two promotional singles, three video albums, and twenty-nine music videos (many of which are alternate versions to the same song). The line-up consists of Scottish-born Shirley Manson and Americans Duke Erikson, Steve Marker, and Butch Vig. They have amassed worldwide album sales of over 17 million units.[1]

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, was an unexpected smash; it charted in the top 20 in six countries and was certified double platinum in the US, 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 movie The World Is Not Enough.[2] The band's third album, Beautiful Garbage (2001), failed to match the commercial success achieved by its predecessors.[3] 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.[4] The band cut short their concert tour in support of Bleed Like Me announcing an "indefinite hiatus".[5] Garbage reconvened in 2007[6] and released a greatest hits compilation Absolute Garbage.[7] The band's fifth studio album, Not Your Kind of People, was released on 14 May 2012 through the band's own label, Stunvolume.[8]
