Sales and Singles
The first single from Flood, "Birdhouse in Your Soul", reached number 3 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks Chart and was a top 40 hit elsewhere, including Australia and the United Kingdom. The other single from the album, "Twisting", peaked at number 22 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks Chart. Flood also contains another two of They Might Be Giants' most well-known songs, "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)", a cover of The Four Lads' song, and "Particle Man", both of which were made into animated music videos on the children's television show Tiny Toon Adventures, exposing the band to a much younger audience.
Flood was the band's first album to receive the Platinum sales award, which it achieved on July 10, 2009.
