In 1994, the Tragically Hip released ``Day For Night,'' which became the fastest-selling Canadian album ever. Within a week, it had reached triple-platinum status -- 300-thousand copies sold.

That was definitely the height of their popularity. They were freakin' HUGE
in the mid 90s. Every kid in my high school must have had a copy of that album. In '94 they were just as popular as bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden. I had been a fan since Up to Here, and it was great to finally see them get the recognition they so richly deserved. Strange how it never translated to the rest of the world.
