Their hits include "Driftwood", "Sing", "Turn", "Side", and festival favourite "Why Does It Always Rain On Me?". "More Than Us" was their turnaround single, which left British indie music lovers in anticipation for their forthcoming, inevitably successful release The Man Who. They made headlines on both sides of the Atlantic in 2000 when performing a cover of Britney Spears' single "Hit Me Baby (One More Time)" live at the Glastonbury Festival. The song is featured as a B-side on their single "Turn".
