By the Numbers
Every one of the thirteen tracks is credited to Joel and Benji Madden together and nobody else. It is the cleanest credit sheet in the catalogue: two brothers, no outside writers, no producers in the writing column. The next album brings in Eric Valentine and John Feldmann, and it never goes back to this.
Good Charlotte is the band's self-titled debut, released in September 2000 on Epic and Daylight with Don Gilmore producing. It is certified platinum in the United States and produced "Little Things" and "The Motivation Proclamation", though neither charted highly.
