Rotten Apples is a greatest hits compilation album by the rock band the Smashing Pumpkins. In the U.S., it was released in 2001 together with Judas 0. The Pumpkins' final recording, "[Untitled]", completed in the days leading up to the band's final concert at the Metro in Chicago, is the final track on the album, and was released as a single. Another notable track is "Real Love;" while previously released on Machina II/The Friends & Enemies of Modern Music, this was taken from the factory master tapes and, as a result, lacks the pops and clicks inherent in all copies of Machina II (which is vinyl sourced).
The ironic title of the album is the namesake of a popular Pumpkins' b-side that was released on the Tonight, Tonight single and serves as a metaphor for the band's career. Peaking at #31 in the U.S., the album has - as of May 2005 - sold 729,000 units.
