After Epic Records released Good Charlotte's self-titled debut in 2000, the Maddens found themselves hosting MTV's #All Things Rock. Their band's popularity swelled as a result, and The Young and the Hopeless officially launched Good Charlotte into the mainstream in 2002. Bandmembers came and went during the following years, but Joel remained at the forefront of the group, helming such hits as Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous and Hold On. Although Good Charlotte's album sales took a slight dip on 2004's The Chronicles of Life and Death and 2007's Good Morning Revival, Madden continued to make headlines due to his publicized relationships with Hilary Duff and Nicole Richie. While the paparazzi watched, Madden and Duff publicly halted their relationship in fall 2006, a split that fueled much of the lyrical content of Duff's Dignity. Madden then began dating Ritchie that December; several months later, the couple announced the expectation of their first child. ~ Andrew Leahey, Rovi
