Single 1 date =2001 "Rotten Apples" is a
greatest hits compilation album by thealternative rock band theSmashing Pumpkins . In the U.S., it was released in 2001 together with "Judas 0 ". The album's concluding track, "Untitled", was The Pumpkins' final recording before their breakup. Completed in the days leading up to the band's farewell concert at the Metro inChicago , it was also released as a single. Another notable track is "Real Love"; while previously released on "Machina II/The Friends & Enemies of Modern Music ", this was taken from the factory master tapes and, as a result, lacks the pops and clicks inherent in all copies of "Machina II" (which is vinyl sourced).The ironic title of the album is the namesake of a popular Pumpkins B-side that was released on the "
Tonight, Tonight " single and serves as ametaphor for the band's career. Peaking at #31 in the U.S., the album has—as of May 2005—sold 729,000 units.Track listing
