Blink-182 is an American rock band consisting of Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge, and Travis Barker. They have sold over 28 million albums worldwide. With original drummer Scott Raynor they released their debut album Cheshire Cat and achieved moderate success with Dude Ranch, which went on to sell over one million copies. Raynor was replaced by Barker midway through a 1998 tour. The band achieved greater success with selling Enema of the State. "All the Small Things" is the latter of which became the highest-charting song of their career. Blink-182 gained popularity for their irreverent sense of humor, and the follow-up album Take Off Your Pants and Jacket reached number 1 in the charts. The eponymously-titled Blink-182 followed in 2003 and marked a stylistic shift for the group. DeLonge left Blink-182 in early 2005. Hoppus and Barker formed a new band, +44, while DeLonge formed his own act, Angels & Airwaves. Blink-182 reunited in February 2009 and their sixth studio album Neighborhoods.
