Smashing Pumpkins - Zero 1996

"Zero" is a song by American alternative rockband the Smashing Pumpkins, released as the third single from their third studio album and first double album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness (1995). Written by Billy Corgan, it was the first song recorded for the album and features six rhythm guitars with two line-in 12-string acoustic guitars. The cover artwork and music video were created by Ukrainian photographer and Corgan's then-girlfriend Yelena Yemchuk. "Zero" is widely considered one of the band's best songs, ranking in first place on both the Louder Sound and Kerrang! lists of their greatest songs.

Released on April 23, 1996, "Zero" reached number 9 on the US Modern Rock Tracks chart, number 15 on the US Mainstream Rock chart, number 1 on Canada's Alternative 30, number 1 in Spain, and number 3 in New Zealand. The song was also released as an EP in the US and charted at number 46 on the Billboard 200 instead of the Hot 100 due to the EP containing more than four songs, which was Billboard's limit for single releases. Similarly, in the UK, "Zero" reached number 19 on the Scottish Albums Chart as a budget album.

Propelled by the lead single "Bullet with Butterfly Wings", the album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 246,500 units. It earned the band seven Grammy Award nominations in 1997, including Album of the Year, as well as nine MTV Music Video Awards nominations.

"Zero" received a total of 63,3% yes votes!
