The album was released in the U.S. in the spring of 1998, and -- accompanied by a tour of the nation's roller rinks -- it became an American hit as well; Home for Christmas followed later that same year, and in the spring of 2000, the group broke sales records with No Strings Attached, which sold close to 2.5 million copies in its first week of release. The kitschy-pop third album, Celebrity, appeared in summer 2001. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide
