Everything You Want, Vertical Horizon's third album and their first for a major label, came out on RCA in 1999 and gave the Washington, D.C. band their breakthrough. Matt Scannell and Keith Kane had started the group as Georgetown students, both singing and playing guitar, and here their earnest, chiming pop-rock gets a radio-ready polish.
The title track is the one everybody knows, crisp and aching, with a chorus built to lodge in your head for a week. It climbed all the way to number one on the Hot 100 and ranked among the most-played singles anywhere in 2000. "You're A God" and "Best I Ever Had (Grey Sky Morning)" followed it onto the Hot 100 with the same clean jangle and heart-on-sleeve hooks. The album went double platinum, 2 million copies in the US, and remains their biggest seller.
