Data Insight
Sixteen of the seventeen tracks carry Bradley Nowell and only nine are the band alone. The rest name the sources they built on, which is how a record with borrowed parts on half its running order became the one that sold ten times over.
Sublime came out on MCA in July 1996, two months after Bradley Nowell died, and is certified diamond. "What I Got", "Santeria" and "Wrong Way" all came off it.
