In 1991, Northside scored a minor hit in the United States when their single "Take 5" reached No. 5 on the "Billboard" Alternative Songs chart for the week of 5 October. It also reached No. 34 on the Dance/Club Play Songs charts that same month. The band performed "Take 5" on "Top of the Pops" on 6 June 1991, a rare occasion where a song that was not in the Top 40 was played on the show. That week the single was at No.41 and would peak at No.40.
