Marcy Playground

Amid one-hit wonders from the 1990s, New York-based band Marcy Playground certainly deserves mention.  They hit Billboard’s Hot 100 exactly once, and exactly 15 years ago, that song — “Sex and Candy” — peaked at number 8 after debuting on the chart at number 13 the week before. After rising to number 8 for that one week, the song would bounce around in the Top 20 for a few months before beginning its more consistent descent down the chart.

“Sex and Candy” came from Marcy Playground’s self-titled first album, which was released that same year.  In the 15 years since, the band has released five more studio albums, with the most recent being “Lunch, Recess & Detention,” which they released in June 2012.  For more on the band, check out their official website.
