Weezer


"Raditude" is the seventh studio album by American rock band Weezer, released on October 30, 2009. It marked their final release with DGC Records and Geffen Records. The album's title was suggested by actor Rainn Wilson. Its lead single, "(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To," debuted in August 2009 and helped the album reach number seven on the Billboard 200, selling 66,000 copies in its first week. The album was recorded primarily in 2009, with frontman Rivers Cuomo as the sole lead vocalist, and featured collaborations with artists like Jermaine Dupri and Lil Wayne. Despite some reservations from band members about its mainstream pop direction, the album was promoted with a pre-order club offering exclusive tracks and was even sold alongside a Weezer-themed Snuggie. Although its initial sales were lower than their previous album, several tracks have remained popular in live performances. The album's cover features a photo of a dog named Sidney, originally published in National Geographic.
