White Blood Cells peaked at number 61 on the Billboard 200 , reaching Gold record status by selling over 500,000 albums. It reached number 55 in the United Kingdom, being bolstered in both countries by the single ” Fell in Love with a Girl ” and its accompanying Lego -animation music video directed by Michel Gondry . The video won three awards at the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards : Breakthrough Video, Best Special Effects, and Best Editing, and the band played the song live at the event. It was also nominated for Video of the Year, but fell short of winning. It also spawned the acclaimed singles ” Hotel Yorba “, ” Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground “, and ” We’re Going to Be Friends “. Stylus Magazine rated White Blood Cells as the fourteenth greatest album of 2000–2005, while Pitchfork ranked it eighth on their list of the top 100 albums from 2000 to 2004.
