The band's second album, Liquid Skin, was released in 1999, lending Gomez further success on the British and Australian album charts. The band also made the Billboard Heatseeker chart for the first time. After winning the Mercury Prize, the band went back to Parr Street Studios, pressing on with recording as much material as they could between tours. Ken Nelson engineered once again and the band self produced. The album went Platinum and extensive touring followed, highlighted with a headline slot at Glastonbury Festival on the second stage, with a record breaking crowd. The album went to No. 1 in the UK midweek charts but was later passed by Shania Twain for the top position.
