The band signed with RCA Records the next year and released its debut album Contraband in 2004,[1] which topped the US Billboard 200 and has since sold over 4 million copies in the US.[2][3] The album was supported by the release of four singles, including "Slither" which topped the Billboard Alternative Songs and Mainstream Rock charts.[4][5] In 2005 the group contributed the song "Come On, Come In" to the Fantastic Four soundtrack, which was also released as a single and reached number 14 on the Mainstream Rock chart.[5] The band also performed on a recording of "Tears in Heaven" released to benefit victims of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami.[6]
Velvet Revolver returned in 2007 with Libertad.[1] The band's second album reached number five on the Billboard 200, and was certified gold in Canada and silver in the UK.[2][7][8] Lead single "She Builds Quick Machines" reached the top 20 of the Alternative Songs chart and number two on the Mainstream Rock chart.[4][5] Weiland departed the band in April 2008, before RCA dropped the group later in the year.[9] In 2010, Slash, McKagan and Sorum (credited as Velvet Revolver) were featured on Macy Gray's single "Kissed It".[10] The band has since released two live video albums: Live in Houston in 2010 and Let It Roll: Live in Germany in 2012.[11][12]
