Why it's here

Wheatus were in the middle of a 25th-anniversary tour through 2026 in which the band performs its 2000 self-titled debut album — the record that contains "Teenage Dirtbag" — in full each night, with North American dates running through July 2026. [1] Concert listings show the tour active around the chart date, with Wheatus dates scheduled in July 2026, including a July 29, 2026 show at the Cultural Arts Playhouse in Syosset, New York. [2] The song's standing as a catalog staple was reinforced when Rolling Stone named the 2000 track, written by frontman Brendan B. Brown, the No. 1 best one-hit wonder of the 2000s in May 2025. [3]

In culture

Every place this record has lived. A solid chip states a fact and carries the citation that earns it; a dashed one is a connection somebody drew, and carries their name instead.
