It reached number one in the charts in over a dozen countries, including the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.

“MMMBop” is still a popular song today, and it continues to be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a reminder of a simpler time, and it is a song that can bring a smile to anyone’s face.
Fun Fact
The song’s title is a nonsense word that was created by Isaac Hanson. He was trying to come up with a catchy word that would represent the carefree attitude of youth. The word “MMMBop” was the first thing that came to mind, and it stuck. The song holds the record for being the 27th longest-running single on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, spending a remarkable 27 weeks in the chart’s Top 40. Lastly, they are not only talented musicians but also skilled brewers. In 2013, they launched their own beer brand called “MMMhops,” a clever play on their hit song “MMMBop.” The beer is a pale ale that combines their love for music and brewing, showcasing their entrepreneurial spirit and passion for crafting unique experiences beyond the realm of music.
