For the first time in the 21st century we have a number 40 that made the Billboard 100. It was a Top 10 hit in America, the first number 40 to achieve that since 1979.
I remember first hand this record seeming pretty big at the time so I'm actually quite surprised that this only made number 40. It's also had 175 million views on YouTube at the time of writing so it clearly is a lot bigger than it's number 40 position would suggest.
It was the Top 40 debut for Incubus who were an American rock band with turntables, a growing trend at the time. It came from their "Make Yourself" album which came out in 1999. Therefore presumably those who liked this record would go and buy the album rather than the single.
Incubus have had 4 Top 40 hits to date and the highest they've reached is number 23. Clearly more of an albums band than a singles band then.
