If ever there was proof the the Top 40 doesn't reflect the popularity of a record then this is it. At the time of writing it's had 15m views on YouTube but all measurements aside, this is a pretty well known record.
The Breeders started as a side project for Pixies member Kim Deal, but by 1993 the Pixies had broken up making this her main band.
The Pixies are quite well known for being an American band who were much bigger in the UK. They are also seen as being very influential to the grunge and alternative rock sound of the early 90s. Their Top 40 career though consists of just 3 hits that all charted in the 20s.
This was the only Top 40 hit for The Breeders, though it also made the Billboard 100 unlike any Pixies records. They have 5 albums to their name across a 28 year period and are still active with the line up from this record, though Kim Deal has been the only constant member throughout.
