As far as commercial success goes, let's not forget there was a sort of Audities-type pop revival in the late 90s.? Bands such as Fastball ("The Way", "Fire Escape"), Semisonic ("Closing Time") and Ben Folds Five ("Brick") were all over the radio back then (the last time I really listened to radio before the internet took its place as to where I made my musical discoveries) and had quite a bit of commercial success. And if you wanted to, you could count The Wallflowers in there as well - they were bigger than all of them.? Alas, it didn't last very long.
