Americana is the fifth studio album by American rock band The Offspring, released on November 17, 1998, by Columbia Records. Following a worldwide tour in support of Ixnay on the Hombre, the band commenced work on a new album in July 1998, with the recording sessions lasting for about two months. It was The Offspring's second and last album to be produced by Dave Jerden. Americana was a major success, debuting at number two on the US Billboard 200, and selling over 198,000 copies in its first week. It is the band's second best-selling album after their 1994 breakout, Smash, and has sold over ten million copies worldwide. Americana spawned the hit singles "Pretty Fly", "Why Don't You Get a Job?" and "The Kids Aren't Alright", and was promoted with a worldwide tour that included an appearance at the Woodstock '99 festival.
