By the Numbers
All eleven tracks are credited to the four of them as a group, with nobody else on any of it. One of the biggest selling albums ever released in the United States is also one of the most closed: no outside writer, no outside producer on the writing, four names on everything.
Cracked Rear View came out on Atlantic in July 1994 and is certified 2x diamond by the RIAA. "Only Wanna Be with You" reached number six on the Billboard Hot 100 and three more singles reached the top 15.
