At it's height? No! Still mainstream radio and the go to choice for Rockers? Absolutely! If you go to a bar or pub, that's what they are playing... If you see a cover band, that's what they were covering... Most grunge bands were going on their 3rd albums at this point so they were practically legends.
Go back and look at all the albums that came prior to DA, in '96 / '97 (Albums released in '96 were still pumping out singles in '97) - This was a time when Emo was just starting to cross over too...
- Load/ReLoad - Metallica
- Down on the Upside - Soundgarden
- Tiny Music... Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop - STP
- Endless List
BTY, MMMBop was one of those flukes... They were just one of those Justin Bieber acts of today.
