Page "Mazzy Star" Paragraph 6

The American branch of Rough Trade folded in late 1990, briefly leaving Mazzy Star without a record label.

Within weeks, the duo's contract was picked up by Capitol, who re-released She Hangs Brightly on November 4, 1990, and released their follow-up, So Tonight That I Might See on September 27, 1993.

A year after its release, the album yielded an unexpected hit single.

" Fade Into You " peaked at No. 44 to become their first Billboard Hot 100 single, while also reaching a career-high peak of No. 3 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart.

On April 19, 1995, the album was certified platinum by the RIAA for shipments in excess of 1 million units.

The album also peaked at No. 68 in the U. K., and as of November 2001 had sold over 40, 000 copies there.

Following the success of " Fade Into You ", She Hangs Brightly album opener " Halah " began to receive heavy airplay in the U. S. and peaked at No. 19 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart, a position based solely on airplay.

In 1995, She Hangs Brightly was awarded a gold certification from the RIAA for shipments in excess of 500, 000 units.
