who was more popular at their peak?

[heyjoshua]

which band was more popular at their peak - Blink-182 or Fall Out Boy?

[fakeyellowlight]

this isn't really an opinion, is it?

[jwicklun]

i like fall out boy more than blink, but come on, everyone knew of Blink when they were at they're peak.

[bobsheiskawy]

what was blink's peak? all the small things? i'd assume fall out boy's would be dance, dance. that's by most popular song. i was younger (and only listened to country) for blink's, so fall out boy seems a lot more popular to me. blink's going to win this handily on here, though.

[DCfreak]

"on here" ? just because you were more surrounded by fob doesnt mean much. EVERYONE knew all the small things\ first date\ rock show. FOB never got #1 big like blink did.

[Machu505]

How is this even a question?

[domotime2]

i laugh at all the people who automatically jump to blink as the answer and "poo poo" the popularity that was fall out boy at their peak..

now the answer, is blink 182 because it just was. Blink 182 had/has the potential to sell out larger venues than fall out boy on their own (who require a nice full support cast to help fill arenas; not saying that blink ever toured with "no names" just saying, Fall Out Boy probably couldn't sell out Madison Square Garden unless they had a super jam packed support list). Blink also came out during the TRL/Radio days, where everything was filtered to the masses and you only had a select few songs that were popluar at a time.

But a lot of people are just looking at this and saying "duh blink 182" but fall out boy was REALLY REALLY POPULAR in 2005-2007, but it's a different era. Fall out boy/My chem/paramore were/are giant acts, no question about it. If adults know who they are or have heard their songs, they're big haha. But Blink 182 was on a differnt platform than the others...but i dont know, now that I think about it?

All the Small Things/Whats My age Again vs. Sugar were going down/dance dance in terms of popularity. that's how I see it, because although blink has PLENTY of other songs that diehards and casual rock fans know..I'm looking at it from a major pop perspective where those songs were the BIG hits of the two bands.

yeah the answer is blink...but its not THAT obvious.

Fall Out boy vs. My chem vs. paramore would be more interesting.

other than All The Small Things and What's My Age Agai

[domotime2]

i like fall out boy more than blink, but come on, everyone knew of Blink when they were at they're peak.
because Sugar We're going down and dance dance weren't superly overplayed

[domotime2]

here are some soundscan/chart numbers that are interesting...


Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks
What's My Age Again was the highest (and 1 of 2 songs, the other being damnit that appears on the US main chart) and it was 19.
Sugar Were going down is the only single to char on US Main and it charted at 6.

billboard top 100 Singles (In the top 50)
Blink has two (small things, miss you)
fall out boy has six (sugar, dance dance, this aint a scene, thanks for memmories, i dont care)

Fall out boy has two singles reach platinum
Bllnk 182 has none.

they each have 3 albums that reached top 10 status..but blink has 4 albums reach platinum, fall out boy has 2.


I'm sorry guys...in talking about their "peak" the answer is fall out boy, based on stats alone.

In '99-'02, people still bought albums.

[spansen]

i like fall out boy more than blink, but come on, everyone knew of Blink when they were at they're peak.
really? at they're peak?

blink, though. i voted blink. c'mon, baby, TRL!

[SunnyInPhilly]

Voted Blink but I definitely don't think it's as obvious as some others do.

[Ron57]

On this site? Blink.

In reality and with mainstream music? Fall Out Boy.

Though Blink was a major influence on bands like Fall Out Boy.

Hey, at least Blink is still together and has a chance to come back again.

[stonecoldfox]

Although Blink will win this as well as any other survey they are involved in, Fall Out Boy is definitely the bigger, more widely recognized band in the mainstream. Aside from all the small things and possibly what's my age again, most people I know haven't heard a single other song of theirs...and rightly so, grossly overrated band.

[CoheedForever]

blink!

[Tristan Needler]

I'm pretty sure Fall Out Boy was bigger at their peak. Blink is 100 times better, but I don't get why everyone thinks they were so much more popular.

[cityscapes101]

Blink-182, definitely. I like FOB better (I was never a Blink fan) but Blink were way more popular.It kind of just seems like FOB is bigger because of all the press with Pete and stuff.

[jjm1]

You need to define what popular means in this case (sales, pop culture impact, etc). The bands peaked at different times. When blink was peaking TRL was extremely popular and people were still buying the majority of their music. FOB came at a time when people just clicked a button to get music for free. I have no idea if this is true but for that reason id imagine blink sold more records. Id probly give them a draw in terms of peaking popularity, id much prefer to go to a blink show hands down though.

[Debut_Fin]

what was blink's peak? all the small things? i'd assume fall out boy's would be dance, dance. that's by most popular song. i was younger (and only listened to country) for blink's, so fall out boy seems a lot more popular to me. blink's going to win this handily on here, though.

Thnks Fr Th Mmrs was their most popular song

[bobsheiskawy]

Thnks Fr Th Mmrs was their most popular song
actually, according to wikipedia, this ain't a scene, it's an arms race charted highest, followed by sugar, we're going down and dance, dance. then came thnk fr th mmrs.

[ExtremeAvalanch]

FOB is the better band, but there's no question Blink was more popular. Maybe it's because I was on my way out of high school during FUCT's peak, but from '99 to '02 or so it seemed like everyone was into Blink.

[fuxkholly]

post some concert statistics if you want to impress me

[Intotheunkn0wn]

i voted for fall out boy but after researching, blink has sold WAY more albums than fall out boy did. Bear in mind, Blink's peak of success was truely before the digital media/mp3 age we are in today, record sales have declined SO much since then

[BornUnderPunches]

no matter what the answer is, Pete Wentz will always be overrated

[Echo Park]

i think FOB is more of a teen sensation. Little 14 yr old girls want to bang Wentz. I think skater kids between 12-20 loved blink back in the day. But the bottom line, 14 yr old girls go out and make crazes at the mall and TRL and whatnot, thus FOB was/is more POPular

while FOB didnt get popular til Arms Race mainstream wise here, they were huge, way bigger than blink were
note: i like blink a lot better as well

[TangledUp]

lol not even a question. Blink!

[ayerock]

Blink, clearly

[AmyiBOT]

I want to say Blink 182 but chose FOB. Merchandise and culturally speaking, FOB moved more - Pete Wentz capitalized where Mark/Tom/evenTravis did not. However, in terms of gigs I think the second or so reply was right in that Blink books bigger.

Final summation: Blink books bigger and is more musically successful; FOB moves more merchandise and progressed an entire fashion and cultural community.

[bgeez120]

most def. blink. fall out boy can suck a fcuk

[fightinirish217]

Blink by far, not even a contest.

[ibmx08]

thats not even a reasonable question. blink hands down. lol if there is life on other planets in our solar system, they know about blink

[CS Lewis]

Blink 182 is definitely more notorious, has more consistent/dedicated fans, contributed a lot more to their genre than FOB has, and is recognized for it.

With that said, I voted for Fall Out Boy, merely because they are a more accessible band so I think they reach larger demographics across the board, even if just lightly.

Fall Out Boy will never achieve the level of deserved hype that Blink has achieved.

[Ryan Rumsey]

Is anyone reading any of the previous posts?

[stevenisfading]

too many idiots voted without even thinking but I suppose that's to be expected.

Fall Out Boy, easily.

Ummm.....

If the argument "in their prime" and not "overall," let us narrow down the stats to one album for each band. Therefore your stats about such songs as "This Aint A Scene," "Thanks For The Memories," etc. are completely discounted.

Billboard Hot 100 has "All The Small Things" at 6 (Fall Out Boy's "Sugar We're Going Down" charted 8 on this, "Dance Dance" charted 9) so yes even though it was one less single than FOB, it still charted higher than any FOB single did. The album Enema of the State charted 9 on their Top 200 list. Enema of the State is also received greater critical acclaim than Cork Tree did. Enema of the State has sold 15 million copies worldwide, completely utterly outselling Cork Tree. Also by standards of where singles chart, Blink had 3 singles that all charted high whereas Fall Out Boy had 2 (no, "Sixteen Candles" did not chart very well). What are you going to do next? Check their teen choice award nominations? Blink 182 is one of the most highly influential pop punk bands of all time. No one cites freaking FOB as an inspiration, come onnnnn.

So...

Narrowing it down to when each band was in its prime, Blink 182 was far superior with their album Enema of the State than Fall Out Boy was in their prime, or at any point of their career.

Suck it, Trebek. Suck it long and suck it hard.

But the question wasn't "Who sold more shit." You can give all the credit to FOB selling their merch because of stores like Hot Topic, which weren't nearly as popular or nation-spread back when Blink was in its prime.

The question is purely about music, so Blink wins.

[Paulb-182]

Blink had a much longer time of being successful, sold more albums, did many more massive Arena tours.

How well singles do in the charts does not mean overall success to me.

I enjoy both bands, but I don't think it's much of a way of seeing that blink are more popular. Reading and Leeds this year they're headlining, in 2003 they went 2nd from top to Linkin Park. Fall Out Boy have played the festival twice in 2007 and 2009, and they played 4th at best.

[zachff]

1. The bolded statement is patently false. Lots of bands say they were/are influenced by Fall Out Boy but at the same time you have to think of how musical influencing works. Most people in pop-punk bands today are what, 20-25? Those people grew up listening to Blink because Fall Out Boy wasn't around then. Do I think Blink influenced more bands than Fall Out Boy, yes, but get a grip on your argument.

2. Anyone who says /thread after their own post needs to GTF out.

[Kozzy333]

I would say Fall Out Boy. It's fairly close and I can see both sides but probably due to my age FOB seemed bigger at their peak than Blink did.

[Charles777]

I don't quite remember Blink when they were really popular, but I do know that I Miss You is a lot more popular right now than any FOB song.

[Macbeth.]

How is this even a question? Blink peaked multiple times - including last summer when fall out boy OPENED for them. Idiots.

[SLoT]

Blink easily.

[HelloxAlone]

I would say Fall Out Boy. It's fairly close and I can see both sides but probably due to my age FOB seemed bigger at their peak than Blink did.

This is exactly how I feel, fellow Canadian.

[eriatarka24]

People are looking at this question as "Who's better, Blink or FOB?"

[sdisticsquirrel]

Opinions are winning the poll, but research is winning the thread.

Blink was/is a huge band in people's lives, so everyone would say Blink.
I don't think you can compare stats because the state of the music industry has changed significantly since Blink's "peak."
I definitely think Blink's "peak" lasted longer thank FOB's, even if the researchers say it technically didn't reach the apex that FOB did.

Side Note: How the hell is Blink winning this when half of the people on here were like 8 when Blink first hit mainstream?

[Vince Early]

Hmmm... maybe the internet had something to do with Fall Out Boy not selling nearly as many copies as blink. I mean the illegal download craze was at the height of its popularity when Fall Out Boy was at the height of theirs, and you can't just discount Fall Out Boy's other works just because it doesn't fit your argument, if it could be called that.

.....and I've been swayed. I'd like to change my vote, please. :)
And, man, I forget how obsessed I was with Blink and a decade later kids still were/are, posters, urethra chronicles on VHS, stickers, concerts, I had Dude Ranch on tape, and for the fact that even after I went to college they were still on the charts when they decided to resoundtrack the Nightmare Before Xmas (lulz)... I mean, it should have been clear.

[foryoublue]

Blink seems more recognized by people outside of this genre of music. Even if it is for "two songs" or whatever you will say, people that I've talked to know of Blink. Some of them can even recall their names, just like they can with The Beatles-and most of my friends listen to neither. Unilke FOB where Pete Wentz would only come to mind. They also associate them with being "naked all the time," which is not the best, but at least that was memorable. What has FOB done that will keep someone who isn;t a fan remembering them years from now?

It's alright. You are forgiven.

But I still believe that if someone went on the street and had a picture of blink next to a picture of fob or had a sample of one of each of their bigger songs, more people would recognize blink. And if they didn't know exactly who either of them were, they'd still remember that they heard the blink song before.

Obviously blink. They literally had hit after hit after hit. Whereas FOB never quite matched the success of singles released from FUCT.

I'd say that Fall Out Boy's peak was fairly short lived, where as blink hit the big time with Enema of the State and managed to stay at the top until they went on hiatus. At least that's how it felt in the UK. Fall Out Boy blew up with the release of From Under the Cork Tree and sizzled out. Their subsequent albums received much less press than FUTCT did. That being said, I'm sure Fall Out Boy could easily sell out an entire tour anywhere in the world if they decided to reform.

I think FOB were more 'popular' at their peak.

[ARadioWithGuts]

Blink will be/are legends.

Blink only had 5 charting singles that were higher than 100. 3 out of FOB's 9 charting singles charted below 50. Plus, their highest charting single was "This Ain't A Scene...", not "Dance Dance" or "Sugar..."

No, I didn't! I PROMISE!

I'm voting Blink because, well, Blink had a longer peak, meaning simple statistics would put Blink in the lead.

Also, back in Blink's time, there were more legitimate bands, where as the popularity contests of today are run by a couple of sellouts at a time.
