It became the band's highest selling album to date, going Triple-Platinum, and spent 76 weeks on the ''Billboard'' 200 charts. The singles "December," "The World I Know" and "Where the River Flows" all reached No. 1 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, while the first two singles also became major pop hits.
