The band did not receive much international recognition until the 1993 release of their second album, God Shuffled His Feet . Particularly instrumental in increasing the band’s exposure in the American market was the appearance of a new type of radio format, adult album-oriented alternative rock (AAA). These stations put the first single, ” Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm “, in high rotation and the song peaked at No. 4 on the US Hot 100. “Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm” did even better in the United Kingdom, where it was a No. 2 hit, and Australia where it peaked at No. 1. Popular parodist “Weird Al” Yankovic parodied the song under the title ” Headline News ” in 1994.
