The album was considered a complete success by the band, debuting at number one on the Billboard 200 with at least 268,000 copies sold in its first week of release and, among other singles, spawning two of their biggest singles: ” Got the Life ” and ” Freak on a Leash “. They both exposed Korn to a wider mainstream audience, with the music videos being mainstays on MTV’s Total Request Live . “Got the Life” was the show’s very first “retired” video, with “Freak on a Leash” also reaching retirement several months later. In September 1998, Korn signed with a second music publisher, Zomba Music Group , through negotiations of the band’s then-manager Jeff Kwatinetz (the former CEO of The Firm ), along with co-founders Peter Katsis and Michael Green .
