Blink-182是当今美国比较年轻一代的朋克乐队中，在商业上最为成功的乐队之一。Blink-182乐队最早组建于1993年，这只有三个人组成的乐队最初在美国加利福尼亚州南部的Poway成立，当时的名字叫做Blink，由歌手兼吉他手Tom Delonge首先创立，另外两名成员分别是他的朋友，贝斯手Mark Hoppus和鼓手Scott "Mad Dog" Raynor。但是Blink乐队在成立不久之后，他们被告知自己乐队的名字和爱尔兰一支乐队相同，并且有可能因此受到法律方面的指控，Tom Delonge和其他两名成员被迫在乐队名字的后边加上了后缀数字182以示区别，于是就形成了乐队现有的名称Blink-182，至于数字182的含义，乐队成员表示这只是他们随机任意挑选的数字而已，并没有什么特别的含义。 Blink-182乐队成立之后，在1993年，乐队自行录制并发行了第一张EP唱片《Fly Swatter》，几个月之后这张专辑被重新定名为《Buddha》，在1994年正式发行，这张专辑的发行提升了乐队的地位，并且使他们的名字渐渐被更多的人们所知晓，他们的音乐也开始出现在一些滑冰，冲浪，滑雪板等刺激性很强的极限运动的电视节目中，这也使他们有机会和比较大一些的唱片公司签约。不久之后，Blink-182乐队正式和Grilled Cheese/Cargo唱片公司签约，并且在几个月以后发行了乐队的第二张专辑《Cheshire Cat》。在Blink-182乐队的名声渐渐扩大之后，他们也得到了更多的出场演出机会，其中最重要的就是获得了与另外两支已经名声在外的朋克乐队 Pennywise乐队和NOFX乐队一起展开世界性范围的巡回演出的机会，这次名为Warped的世界性巡回演出在1996到1997年中，先后在美国，加拿大，日本和澳大利亚等国家和地区展开，同时，Blink-182乐队的音乐也开始更多的出现在那些极限运动的电视节目中作为背景音乐。同时在 1997年，Blink-182乐队乐队发行了第三张专辑《Dude Ranch》，这张专辑第一次冲进了Billboard 200排行榜，这也让这支三人乐队拥有了更大的听众群体以及更大的知名度。不久之后，Blink-182乐队与MCA唱片公司签订合同。 1999年，Blink-182乐队在MCA唱片公司发行了乐队的第四张专辑《Enema of the State》，这张由大唱片公司发行的专辑在发行不久之后，就成功的进入了Billboard 200排行榜的前十名，并且最终销量突破了四百万张。在这张专辑把Blink-182乐队塑造成为了音乐明星之后，乐队发行了一张限量版专辑《The Mark, Tom, and Travis Show (The Enema Strikes Back)》。在这张专辑发行之前，Blink-182乐队的人员已经发生了变化，乐队的原鼓手Scott "Mad Dog" Raynor重新回到了学校去完成学业，取而代之的则是已经在多支乐队里担任过鼓手的Travis Landon Barker。 2001年，Blink-182乐队的第五张专辑《Take Off Your Pants and Jacket》正式发行，这张专辑在发行之后迅速成为了Billboard 200排行榜的冠军。随后的时间里，Blink-182乐队继续展开了巡回演出，他们和Green Day等朋克乐队一起在2002年的时候参加了Pop Disaster巡演活动。2003年11月18日，Blink-182乐队的第六张专辑《Blink-182》正式发行。

Born This Way is the second studio album and third major release by American recording artist Lady Gaga. It was released on May 23, 2011 by Interscope Records as a follow up to her internationally successful, The Fame (2008) and the extended play The Fame Monster (2009). Born This Way is notably different from The Fame and The Fame Monster as it incorporates a broader range of elements of several musical genres such as opera, heavy metal, disco, and rock and roll, and fuses those elements with sounds of electropop and dance. The album also is heavily inspired by synthpop and electronic music from the 1980s and 90s. In the album, the central themes include those of religion, sexuality, and feminism. On the record, Gaga worked with several producers, including RedOne, the only hold over for her previous work. With Born This Way, Gaga took more control of her musical direction and the album composition. Production first took place in early 2010, with recording sessions for the album took place at various recording studios around the world. The title was revealed in September at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards after Gaga's win of the Video of the Year Award for "Bad Romance". Just a week before the album's scheduled release, the contents were leaked online, but were shortly removed due to copyright violations. Three singles and one promotional single were released for the album. "Born This Way", the lead single, topped the charts in over eighteen countries including the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States. It would become the fastest selling single in iTunes history, having sold over 1 million copies within its first five days. "Judas" was the second single for Born This Way. The song peaked on the top ten in nineteen countries. "The Edge of Glory", originally released as one of two proposed promotional singles, was shortly made as the third single of the album. The song debuted at number three on the Billboard Hot 100, and topped the charts in Brazil and South Korea. The promotional single for the album, "Hair", peaked at number twelve on the Billboard Hot 100 and chart on the musical charts in sixteen different countries. The album has been met with generally positive reception from contemporary critics, who complimented Gaga's vocals and the album's varying musical styles. However, the repetitive use of the word "Jesus", in addition to the employment of church bells and monk voices in many of the album's tracks including "Marry the Night," "Bloody Mary" and "Electric Chapel" have all resulted in negative reactions from some Christian societies, including those in Lebanon, where Born This Way was temporarily banned. Despite such strife, Born This Way topped the charts in twenty-three countries. It debuted atop the US Billboard 200 chart with first-week sales of 1.11 million copies. Over 430,000 of these sales were at a special price of US$ 0.99, which Amazon.com offered for two days during the album's first week of release.
