Their debut album, Good Feeling, was released in 1997 to moderate success where it debuted at number nine on the UK Albums Chart[1] and was later awarded a silver certification from the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) in January 2000.[2] In 1999, they released "Writing to Reach You" at the lead single from their second studio album, The Man Who, which was released in May 1999. The album was an international breakthrough for the band, selling more than 3.5 million copies worldwide, and yielded the successful singles "Driftwood", "Why Does It Always Rain on Me?" and "Turn". The Man Who was named the 70th greatest album of all time by Q.[3] At the 2010 Brit Awards, it was nominated for the Best Album of the Past 30 Years award, losing to Oasis's (What's the Story) Morning Glory?[4] The album was included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.[5] As of May 2016[update], The Man Who has sold 2,687,500 copies in the United Kingdom alone.
In 2000, Travis released the non–album single "Coming Around" to commercial success, reaching number one in their native Scotland, and the top five in the United Kingdom, with chart success in Ireland and the European Hot 100 Singles. In 2001, they released "Sing", which became their highest charting single in the United Kingdom, peaking at number three. In both Scotland and France, "Sing" reached number two, whilst in the United States, it reached fourteen on the Adult Alternative Airplay and thirty-seven on the Alternative Airplay respectively. Their third album, The Invisible Band, was released in June 2001, and was supported by a further two single releases – "Side" and "Flowers in the Window". The Invisible Band was certified 4x Platinum in the United Kingdom.[6] "Re-Offender" was released in September 2003 as the lead single from their fourth album, 12 Memories, which was released in October 2003. Their fifth album, The Boy with No Name, was released in 2007, and yielded the singles "Closer", "Selfish Jean" and "My Eyes".
Their sixth album, Ode to J. Smith (2008), failed to reach the commercial success Travis had maintained since 1999. Following its release, the band entered a period of inactivity, until returning in 2013 with Where You Stand which returned the band to commercial success, reaching number one in Scotland, three in Switzerland and the United Kingdom and six in Germany. Subsequent album releases, Everything at Once (2016) and 10 Songs were also strong commercial successes for the band, and their latest album, L.A. Times, gave the band their highest charting entry in the United Kingdom since 12 Memories in 2003, debuting at number two on the UK Albums Charts, as well as reaching number one in Scotland.
