Since the groups founding they have accomplished a rare combination of commercial success and critical respect, with outlets such as the Village Voice calling HANSON “the finest straight up rock band in America”. In 2003 the band founded their own independent record label 3CG Records, which has released 4 of their 6 studio albums to date and lead to numerous world tours, playing to their dedicated fanbase. Their breakout album Middle Of Nowhere, lead by the iconic debut single “Mmmbop” which was #1 in 27 countries simultaneously, sparked the band’s meteoric rise to international fame, and was followed by multiple Grammy nominations, and a two decade long career of chart topping singles, including “Where’s The Love”, “I Will Come To You”, “Weird”, “This Time Around”, “If Only”, “Save Me”, “Penny And Me”, “Give A Little”, “Thinking ‘Bout Somethin’” and “Get The Girl Back”.

The band initially formed in 1992 performing locally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and releasing 3 independent albums before being signed in 1996 by Mercury Records.

“The addition of I Was Born to this album is our way of still looking to the future, even as we celebrate where we have been for the last two decades,” added keyboardist and middle brother, Taylor Hanson. “This album and the extensive world tour are really exciting for us, because it’s the first time we’ve assembled a true career-spanning collection in one product, or one concert,” said guitarist Isaac Hanson. The album is the first comprehensive collection, incorporating songs from the band’s 6 major studio albums, as well as the new single “I Was Born”, released in conjunction with their 25 th Anniversary World Tour which has seen sold out concerts throughout Europe, Australia, Latin America, the US and Canada. 24 th July 2017, New York NY - Today pop-rock trio HANSON officially announce the September 8 th release, with presale starting today, for their 25 th Anniversary Middle Of Everywhere - The Greatest Hits album.
