The Sun Is Often Out It was, however, the next single, "On and On” which would be the band’s breakthrough single; reaching No. 16 in the UK. With this momentum the album was released in April and shortly after "She Said" was re-released, also making it to No. 16 in the UK singles chart. The final single from the album "Lost Myself", narrowly missed out on giving the band a third successive Top 20 single, stalling at No. 22. "The Sun Is Often Out" was declared one of 1996's 50 best albums by both "Q" and "Melody Maker" and retains a favourable 4 star rating
