14:59 is the third studio album by American rock band Sugar Ray, released on January 12, 1999. It entered the top 20 on the Billboard 200, peaking at number 17 and certified triple-platinum by the RIAA. The album shows the band moving into a more mainstream pop rock sound, away from their earlier funk metal and nu metal sound, due to the success of their single "Fly" off their prior album, Floored. The album was titled 14 minutes and 59 seconds, meaning one second short of the "15 minutes of fame" critics claimed the band was riding on. This was seen as an act of self-deprecation, with the band recognizing its own time was limited but was not yet over while defying predictions of a sophomore slump on their second attempt at a hit record.
