History
Early years (1995–1999)
Twin brothers Joel and Benji Madden formed Good Charlotte and worked full-time on the band.[2] The Madden brothers focused on getting the band signed, reading books and magazines that would aid them in achieving this goal.[3] They made promotional packages which they sent to record labels.[2] Joel Madden learned that the girl he took to homecoming was a sister of bassist Paul Thomas. Thomas met the brothers and was impressed with their performance skills.[4] and began playing clubs in the D.C. metro area.[4] The Madden brothers moved to Annapolis, Maryland where they performed acoustic shows.[5] The band named themselves Good Charlotte after the children's book, Good Charlotte: Girls of the Good Day Orphanage, by Carol Beach York.
Guitarist Billy Martin went to one of these shows at the insistence of Jimi HaHa of Jimmie's Chicken Shack.[3] Martin became friends with the Madden brothers and let them move in with him after they were evicted from their apartment.[5] Martin joined Good Charlotte after the trio learned they had a shared interest in the Australian rock band Silverchair[6] and the break up of Martin's band Overflow. They wrote new songs and recorded and performed demos.[7] The band worked in support slots for Blink-182, Lit and Bad Religion.[8] In 1999, Good Charlotte opened for Save Ferris in Philadelphia. After the performance, they left a demo of "Little Things" that soon got airplay on local radio station Y100.[3] Benji Madden was certain of the song's potential hit status with its high-school theme and the reality of its lyrics.[2]
A Sony Music employee passed the band's demo to regional promotion manager Mike Martinovich, who was impressed by the group's writing ability and the autobiographical nature of the songs.[2] He contacted talent manager Steve Feinberg, who flew to Annapolis to watch the group perform and later began working with them.[7] Around the same time, WHFS also began playing the demo.[2] As the track became a hit in the area, record labels began showing interest in Good Charlotte.[3] By the end of 1999, the band went on an east-coast tour with Lit. Representatives from several major labels attended the New York City show of the tour.[9]
Good Charlotte (2000–2001)
Starting in 2000, the group became a full-time touring act with support slots for Lit, Goldfinger, Sum 41, and Mest.[10] Following a showcase in New York City,[3] the group met with people in the music industry.[11]David Massey, executive vice president of A&R at major label Epic Records, signed the band to the label in May.[12]
In December, the group appeared at HFSmas, the winter version of HFStival.[19] On March 1, 2001, "Little Things" was released as a single in Australia.[20] The CD version included "The Click" and "Thank You Mom" as B-sides.[21] Despite the lack of success for "Little Things", the group's label allowed them to make another video, which was for "The Motivation Proclamation".[22] It was directed by Webb[23] and features the band members on the ground, waking up one-by-one and starting to perform. Scenes from Undergrads were played on a TV.[24] Between March and May, the group supported MxPx on their headlining US tour.[25] In April, the video for "The Motivation Proclamation" was receiving airplay from video outlets.[8] While on the MxPx tour, the album was consistently selling 3,000 copies per week. As a result, the group wanted to make a live music video.[26] At the end of May, the group performed at HFStival. During their set, a music video was filmed for "Festival Song",[27] directed by Marc Webb.[23] The video ended up being a mini-documentary on the day.[28] Members of Mest, New Found Glory, and Linkin Park appear in the video.[29]

At that time, the album was still charting on the Billboard 200, 2 years after its release. The album's singles lifted the band from modern rock to top 40 radio stations, with all three major singles crossing over to the format. Each had major success in MTV's Total Request Live.[30] As of 2011, it had sold over 3.5 million copies in the US.[32] The album reached number 18 and 104 on the Billboard 200 year-end charts in 2003 and 2004, respectively.[33][34] The album charted at number 6 in New Zealand,[35] number 7 in Sweden,[36] number 9 in Australia,[37] number 15 in the UK,[38] number 20 in Austria,[39] number 24 in Japan,[40] number 46 in Switzerland,[41] number 52 in France,[42] and number 57 in the Netherlands.[43]
