Trivia / Third Eye Blind

• Black Sheep Hit: "Jumper" sounds very different from most of their other songs.
• Chart Displacement: On Alternative Airplay, they had four top 10 hits, with "Semi-Charmed Life" as their sole #1 hit. "Jumper", despite being arguably just as popular, only peaked at #9 there. It was beaten by "How's It Going To Be" and "Never Let You Go" (which are still fairly well-known but not quite as iconic as "Jumper").
  • On Mainstream Rock, "Semi-Charmed Life" peaked at #26. They had three other entries, none of which are their well-known hits: "Graduate" (which peaked at the same #26), "Anything" (#35), and "Losing A Whole Year" (#36). "Graduate" and "Losing A Whole Year" are both completely forgotten outside of their fanbase, and "Anything" is so obscure that it was the only single not to be included on A Collection (a greatest hits album from 2006).
  • Believe it or not, on the Active Rock charts, "Graduate" hit #18 and outpeaked "Life" by seven spots!
  • Their self-titled album was not a top 10 hit on the Billboard 200. It was outpeaked by "Ursa Major" (#3), "Out of The Vein (#12), and "Dopamine" (#13), all of which were immediately forgotten. Nevertheless, the self-titled album is still easily the most famous, selling the most copies and spawning their three biggest pop hits.
• The Pete Best: Brad Hargreaves is the band's fifth drummer.
  • Bassist Jason Slater left early in the band's history. He later became a record producer.
• Schedule Slip: According to The Other Wiki, Ursa Major had been "anticipated since mid-2007". It was released in August 2009.
• Word of Gay: Stephen Jenkins said that the titular character in "Jumper" is a gay man about to jump off a bridge.
