Although the band was popular on college radio in the United States, they never had a commercial breakthrough, and Warner dropped 54-40 in 1990. In 1991, the band released the compilation album, Sweeter Things . Also during that year, the band signed a deal with Sony and released Dear Dear in 1992. It was the band’s first album to be certified Gold in Canada and was certified Platinum in 1993. The band released Smilin’ Buddha Cabaret in 1994 and Trusted by Millions in 1996, both of which would later be certified Platinum.
