Shortly after forming, the band signed to Eyeball Records and released its first album, I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love, in 2002, which has since sold over 285,000 copies. The band signed with Reprise Records the next year and released its major label debut, Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, in 2004. The album was a commercial success and sold over 3 million copies due in part to the high airplay and sales of the singles "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)" and "Helena". The band released The Black Parade, its third studio album, in 2006, which sold over 4 million copies and features the successful singles "Welcome to the Black Parade", "Famous Last Words", and "Teenagers". The band's fourth studio album, Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, was released in 2010 and featured the successful single "Sing".
