14:59 is the third studio album by American rock band Sugar Ray, released on January 12, 1999. The album shows the band moving into a more mainstream sound, due to the success of their single "Fly" off their prior album Floored, and its title self-deprecatingly references the "15 minutes of fame" critics claimed the band was riding on. It entered the top 20 on the Billboard 200, peaking at number 17 and being certified triple-platinum by the RIAA.
==Background== During the writing sessions for their second album Floored, Sugar Ray wrote a much poppier track, the reggae ballad "Fly". The track's massive surprise success inspired the band to further pursue softer sounds on their following album, 14:59. McGrath admitted "Fly" was "the blueprint now for experimentation".
