Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness is the third studio album by the American alternative rock band the Smashing Pumpkins, released on October 23, 1995 by Virgin Records. It was produced by the singer and guitarist Billy Corgan, alongside the producers Flood and Alan Moulder. The 28-track album was released as a two-disc CD, a double Cassette, a double Minidisc, and a triple LP. It features a wide array of musical styles, including art rock, grunge, alternative rock, and heavy metal. Propelled by its lead single "Bullet with Butterfly Wings", the album debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 246,500 units. It remains the band's only album to top the Billboard 200. It spawned five more singles—"1979", "Zero", "Tonight, Tonight", "Muzzle" and "Thirty-Three"—over the course of 1996, and was certified diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America, signifying over ten million units sold in the US. Recording sessions saw a wealth of productivity: dozens of fully completed songs were cut from the album and resurfaced on later releases.
