'Kerplunk' is the second studio album by American pop-punk legends Green Day, released on 17th December 1991 by Lookout! Records. Following a US tour promoting their debut studio album '39/Smooth' (1990), drummer John Kiffmeyer left to attend college and was replaced by Tré Cool, formerly of the Lookouts, who would become a major part of Green Day's future success.
'Kerplunk' was met with a positive response from critics, with a selection of them highlighting Cool's addition to their sound. Some reviews commented on the overall songwriting, while others talked about the diverse aspects of the album's sound. It sold 10,000 copies on its first day of release, ultimately becoming one of the biggest-selling releases on Lookout Records. The success of their next studio album, 'Dookie' (1994), helped the sales of 'Kerplunk', as it topped the US Billboard Top Pop Catalog Albums chart. With it having sold four million copies worldwide as of January 2017, it was certified platinum in the US and gold in the UK.
