Over on this side of the pond, you have likely been saying Blink "one-eight-two" for all these years. However, if you live in America, they are known as Blink "one-eighty-two".
Yes, madness altogether.
Ian Karmel, a writer for James Corden's 'Late Late Show' pointed out this difference recently on Twitter:
James Corden then weighed in:
Don’t start this. I admit we are wrong on this. America calls them Blink One eighty two. Which is also wrong. They technically should be called Blink one hundred and eighty two. Don’t take some moral high ground here. https://t.co/zm2Gpb6xtT

Blink-182's original vocalist Tom DeLonge also got involved and threw everybody way off:
It’s actually— Blink eighteen-two. People have all gotten this wrong for years. Sometimes this can happen with very complex, thoughtful and elevated art. https://t.co/jmsfv401KF

The band's bassist, Mark Hoppus, however, said people were focusing on the wrong issue:
Don't know about you, but we're sticking with Blink one-eight-two.
