Tragic Kingdom turns 30!

Thank You No Doubt!

This breakthrough album was released on October 10, 1995.

Tragic Kingdom became No Doubt’s most commercially successful album, reaching number one on the Billboard 200, as well as topping the charts in Canada and New Zealand. The album has sold over 16 million copies worldwide and was certified diamond in the United States and Canada, platinum in the United Kingdom, and triple platinum in Australia. The third single “Don’t Speak” was a ballad about the breakup of bandmates Gwen Stefani’s and Tony Kanal's relationship. It peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart and maintained that position for 16 consecutive weeks, a record at the time. The song was not eligible to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 because no commercial single was released, which was a requirement at the time.

Just a girl… No Doubt lead singer Gwen Stefani has been described as a "powerhouse" vocalist with an "incredible" range. Tragic Kingdom showcased her vocal talent and led to a Ska revival in the mid-1990s. No Doubt increased the visibility and commercial success of other Ska-Punk bands, including Sublime. Gwen previously provided background vocals on “Saw Red” from Sublime’s 1994 album Robbin' the Hood and occasionally joined the band on stage.
