San Francisco-based Third Eye Blind got its start in 1997 with the release of its self titled debut album. The album and its first single “Semi Charmed Life” climbed the charts, as did subsequent singles “Graduate,” “How’s It Going To Be,” “Losing A Whole Year,” and “Jumper.” The album has sold six million copies and remained on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart for well over a year.
The group’s 1999 follow-up, Blue, approached double platinum sales based on the strength of its single “Never Let You Go.” Out Of The Vein was released in 2003 and A Collection, a career-spanning compilation, came out in 2006. The band’s hit single “Semi-Charmed Life” won the Billboard Music Award for Modern Rock Track of the Year in 1997. In 1998, Third Eye Blind was nominated for two American Music Awards, Favorite New Artist (Pop/Rock) and Favorite Artist (Alternative).
