For a couple of years or so in the mid-1990s, it seemed like every fourth pop song on the radio was by the Gin Blossoms. The jangly guitar-riffed, post-grunge, alt-rock band scored decent, if not blockbuster, commercial success. Highlighted by the group’s jealous guy breakout tune, “Found Out About You.”
That track, sung from the perspective of a scorned lover, and the similarly themed, if more upbeat, “Hey Jealousy,” both peaked at No. 25 on the Hot 100 chart. The Gin Blossoms’s highest chart position for a song was No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 with the up-tempo “Follow You Down.”
