Welcome Interstate Managers Tracklist
Fountains of Wayne’s third studio album, released on June 10th, 2003, is an under-appreciated classic of alt-rock power-pop. It spawned three singles, with only Stacy’s Mom getting serious traction on the charts, reaching #3 on the US Mainstream Top 40 on November 22, 2003, and claiming the No. 1 spot on the “Most Downloaded Songs” list of the iTunes Music Store, getting worldwide radio play. The music video hit number 1 as well, both on MTV and VH1, likely helped by a swimsuit sporting supermodel Rachel Hunter appearing in the titular role.
Of the other two singles, Mexican Wine failed to chart, and “Hey Julie” made only small waves in the UK, peaking at #57.
However, despite the potential for Welcome Interstate Managers being solely a one-hit wonder, the album’s songs have been used in a variety of television shows and commercials, including Scrubs, One Tree Hill, and Malcolm in the Middle.
