Data Insight
Twelve tracks, all Gavin Rossdale's alone. A British band with a nationless accent selling six million records in America off one writer, while nobody at home paid attention. It set the credit line for everything that followed.
Sixteen Stone came out on Trauma and Interscope in November 1994 and is certified 6x platinum. Five singles came off it and four reached the Billboard Hot 100, led by "Glycerine" at number 28.
