The album attained chart success, debuting at number four in the United States, where it has since sold over 1.6 million copies. Three singles were released from the album: “Hash Pipe”, “Island in the Sun”, and “Photograph”. “Hash Pipe”was a worldwide modern rock hit, charting on seven different charts, despite their record label’s reluctance to release it as the first single.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
