    Sugar Ray achieved remarkable success in the late 1990s. Their single "Fly" spent two weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and has accumulated over 200 million streams on Spotify. The album 14:59 sold over three million copies in the United States alone. The band has sold more than 10 million albums worldwide. Though often dismissed as a one-hit wonder, they actually scored multiple top 10 hits, including "Every Morning" (No. 3) and "Someday" (No. 7). Their music continues to be a staple of 90s nostalgia, with "Fly" frequently appearing on "best summer songs" lists.
