<P> Roth rejoined briefly, and recorded two songs with the band for the 1996 compilation Best Of--Volume I, but Van Halen eventually settled on Gary Cherone, frontman of the then defunct Boston - based band Extreme . Cherone's sole release with the band was Van Halen III, released in 1998 to mixed reviews and diminishing sales, being the only Van Halen studio album not to get a platinum RIAA certification . Van Halen's last release for Warner was the 2004 compilation Best of Both Worlds, which featured three new songs with Hagar . In 2011, the band left the label and signed with Interscope Records . </P> <P> In February 2012, Van Halen released its twelfth studio album and first for Interscope, A Different Kind of Truth, featuring Roth on the vocals and Eddie's son Wolfgang Van Halen on bass guitar . The album debuted at number two on the Billboard 200, and became the band's highest charting album on the UK Albums Chart with a sixth spot . </P> <P> As of 2007, Van Halen has sold 75 million albums worldwide and have had thirteen No. 1 hits on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart . During the 1980s they also had more Billboard Hot 100 hits than any other hard rock or heavy metal band . According to the RIAA, Van Halen is the nineteenth best - selling band / artist of all time with sales of over 56 million albums in the US, and is one of five rock bands that have had two albums (Van Halen and 1984) sell more than ten million copies in the US . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Title </Th> <Th> Album details </Th> <Th_colspan="13"> Peak chart positions </Th> <Th> Certifications (sales thresholds) </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> US </Th> <Th> CAN </Th> <Th> AUS </Th> <Th> SWI </Th> <Th> AUT </Th> <Th> NLD </Th> <Th> DEN </Th> <Th> SWE </Th> <Th> FIN </Th> <Th> NOR </Th> <Th> GER </Th> <Th> NZ </Th> <Th> UK </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Van Halen </Td> <Td> <Ul> <Li> Released: February 10, 1978 </Li> <Li> Label: Warner Bros . </Li> <Li> Format: LP, 8 -
