Celebrity Skin is the third studio album recorded by American Alternative Rock band Hole. It was released globally through Geffen Records on September 8, 1998, and through Geffen's DGC Records label in the United States the next day. It was the band's last album before they dissolved in 2002 after a period of inactivity.The era surrounding this album was a tumultuous time for the band, with drummer Patty Schemel being replaced with session drummer Deen Castronova at the suggestion of Record Producer Michael Beinhorn, causing her to quit the band and drop out of the tour. Celebrity Skin is also the only album featuring bassist Melissa Auf Der Maur, who replaced previous bassist Kristen Pfaff (who tragically died in 1994).The album is notable for being Lighter and Softer than Hole's previous albums, Live Through This and Pretty on the Inside, and features contributions from musicians outside the band, primarily Billy Corgan from The Smashing Pumpkins, who co-wrote five songs on the album.Celebrity Skin is Hole's most commercially successful record, selling 1,400,000 copies in the US alone, peaking at #9 on the Billboard 200 album chart and #11 on the Official Charts Company album chart, becoming Platinum certified in Australia, Canada and the USA, and becoming Gold certified in the UK. Three singles supported the album: the Title Track, "Malibu", and "Awful". All three were high hits on the Billboard Alternative charts (with "Celebrity Skin" hitting #1), and would be Top 40 hits on the UK Pop chart.The song "Celebrity Skin" would also be used in both American Pie and Captain Marvel (2019).Tracklist: "Celebrity Skin" (2:42) "Awful" (3:16) "Hit So Hard" (4:00) "Malibu" (3:50) "Reasons to Be Beautiful" (5:19) "Dying" (3:44) "Use Once And Destroy" (5:04) "Northern Star" (4:58) "Boys On The Radio" (5:09) "Heaven Tonight" (3:31) "Playing Your Song" (3:21) "Petals" (5:29)

Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Samantha started out the promotional cycle with red hair, just in case they could convince Patty to come back to the band before anyone noticed that they had a new drummer.
