The band achieved international success with their second album, The Man Who (1999), which spent nine weeks at the top of the UK charts. In 2003, The Man Who was certified nine times platinum by the BPI, selling over 2.68 million copies in the UK alone. Following this success, the band released a third album, The Invisible Band (2001). The Invisible Band also achieved chart success reaching number 39 on the 2009 Billboard charts. A year after the release of The Invisible Band, the album was certified quadruple platinum by BPI8.
