Still Not Getting Any... is the second studio album by French-Canadian pop punk band Simple Plan. It was released on October 26, 2004. It debuted and peaked at #3 on the US Billboard 200 with over 130,000 copies sold in its first week. The record was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), denoting shipments of one million copies.[10] On Top 40's list of the Top 10 Punk Pop Albums Still Not Getting Any... was #8.
MTV characterised "Me Against the World" as the band's heaviest song at the time. The last track "Untitled" is a piano song with string instruments, with the band commenting "we couldn't think of title — it's that good". MTV felt the album was a "natural evolution" from the previous album.[11] Lead single "Welcome to My Life" peaked at #40 on the Billboard Hot 100, #10 on Mainstream Top 40, and was certified Gold by the RIAA for 500,000 shipments.
