The Offspring’s singles before 1998 were not eligible for the Hot 100 by a rule at the time that a single had to be available as a standalone purchase to be eligible for that particular chart. Instead, The Offspring has had 16 Top-10 hits on the Billboard’s airplay-only Mainstream Rock chart between 1994 and 2024, including three number 1s.

More housekeeping: “Rebel Girl” is disqualified for not charting (although it’s considered a classic in the annals of punkdom)
