Saw this outfit play at Shaky Knees music fest on a very hot afternoon on the Piedmont Stage (which should be named the Hotasballs Stage). No shade whatsoever on this one.

Had a very large crowd for their set. Probably more than some of the acts that played on the main stage later in the day. I'd seen these guys up at Riverbend (they played before Incubus), and they played another whoopass set. Saved their great 'The Middle' song for last.

Hope to see them again, sometime.

Spotify: Most Streamed Albums of 2001

Bleed American was Jimmy Eat World’s fourth album, which was their mainstream breakthrough after three studio LPs.

None of them had managed to make the main world charts during their initial runs, not even in their home country, United States.

While this wasn’t a Top 10 album in this latter country, it put this act on the map and granted the much better peak positions achieved afterwards, always during the first decade of this century.

Bleed American peaked at number 31 on the Billboard Top 200 but, nonetheless, it eventually reached RIAA platinum status. Platinum was achieved in Canada too and also Gold in the UK, in spite of its modest presence on their respective charts.

Despite the above charts statistics, which seem modest to a large extent, its main tracks have cemented an enduring appeal that allow American Bleed to rank at a stunning #8 position among the biggest studio albums released in 2001 as far as the Spotify platform goes.

This level of popularity is sustained most notably by the track The Middle, which now has almost 249 million streams. The rest of the album isn’t shabby either, bringing the cumulative tally to over 400 million.

I think the group Jimmy Eat World only had one hit and it was a song called "The Middle."

Taylor Swift has mentioned that Jimmy Eat World is her favorite band and biggest influence. It is Tom DeLonge's favorite band, and he cried when they surprised him at his wedding to play. One of the most respected bands in the industry. It's sad they flew under the radar, but with the influence that Clarity, Bleed American, and Futures they deserve it.

Prince covered "The Middle"

Case closed.
