In 2002, they achieved breakthrough success with their second album, The Young and the Hopeless. Featuring the hit singles Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, The Anthem and Girls & Boys, The Young and the Hopeless sold 3.5 million copies in the US and was certified triple platinum by the RIAA, for a total of almost 5 million copies sold worldwide. The band followed that up with The Chronicles of Life and Death in 2004; a darker album, both musically and lyrically.
