The "tumbling wordplay" of Meet Virginia gave them their first unlikely radio hit, and 2001’s Drops of Jupiter brought them to multi-platinum status.

The group won another Grammy in 2011 for their global hit Hey, Soul Sister from their multi-platinum album Save Me, San
Francisco (2009), which was the No1 best-selling smash and most downloaded single of 2010.

The song achieved RIAA Diamond status in 2021 and now 11x platinum, and in 2022 surpassed one billion streams on Spotify.

The band will perform in King John's Castle on on Monday, July 7, 2025.
