Garbage is a Scottish-American rock group formed in Madison, Wisconsin, in 1994. The band consists of Scottish-born Shirley Manson and Americans Duke Erikson, Steve Marker and Butch Vig, and has counted worldwide album sales of over 12 million units.
Garbage released a string of increasingly successful singles in 1995–1996, including "Stupid Girl". Their debut album, Garbage, was an Sleeper hit, selling over 4 million copies in the UK, USA and Australia. Garbage won the Breakthrough Artist award at the 1996 MTV Europe Music Awards.
Garbage spent two years working on follow-up album, Version 2.0, which topped the charts in the UK upon its 1998 release and the following year was nominated for two Grammy Awards, Album of the Year and Best Rock Album. Version 2.0 went on to match the sales of its predecessor. Garbage followed this up by performing and co-producing the theme song to the movie The World Is Not Enough.
