No Doubt is a
rock band from Anaheim, California, United States, founded in 1986. The ska-rock sound of its first album failed to make
waves due to the popularity of the grunge movement at
the time. The band's diamond-certified album Tragic Kingdom helped to launch the ska revival of the
1990s, and "Don't Speak," the third
single from the album, set a record when it spent sixteen weeks at the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart, later broken by the Goo Goo Dolls' "Iris."
The group released its
next album, Return of Saturn, four years later with a dominant New Wave sound, but despite positive reviews, the album was considered a commercial
failure. Fifteen months later,
the band reappeared with
Rock Steady, which incorporated reggae and dancehall music into their work. The album was primarily recorded in Jamaica and featured collaborations with Jamaican artists Bounty
Killer, Sly and Robbie, and
Lady Saw. The album produced two Grammy-winning singles, "Hey Baby" and "Underneath It All."
No Doubt released the
compilation The Singles: 1992-2003 and box set Boom Box in 2003,
both of which contained a cover version of the
Talk Talk synthpop song "It's My Life." Frontwoman Gwen Stefani launched her
solo career the
next year with several collaborations, including bandmate Tony Kanal and
Neptune Pharrell Williams, while guitarist Tom Dumont began his side project, Invincible Overlord. During its career,
the band has won two Grammy Awards and sold 27 million records worldwide to date.
