Hanson is an American pop/rock band from
Tulsa, Oklahoma formed by brothers
Isaac (guitar, bass, piano, vocals),
Taylor (keyboards, piano, guitar, drums, vocals) and
Zac (drums, piano, guitar, vocals). Supporting members include Dimetres Collins (keyboards, guitar), and Andrew Perusi (bass) who have toured and performed live with the band since 2007. They are best known for the 1997 hit song "
MMMBop" from their major label debut album
Middle of Nowhere, which earned three
Grammy nominations. Despite the enormous commercial success of
Middle of Nowhere, the band suffered from the merger that eliminated their label,
Mercury Records. The group was moved to
Island Def Jam Music Group, which they eventually left after a conflict with the label. Hanson has sold over 16 million records worldwide and have had 8 top 40 albums and 6 top 40 singles in the US, as well as 8 top 40 singles in the UK. The band now records under its own label,
3CG Records.
