Fully Completely reached #1 in Canada and went on to sell more than a million copies (certified Diamond by Music Canada in January 2007) while spawning hit singles “Locked in the Trunk of a Car”, “Courage” (For Hugh McLennan), “At the Hundredth Meridian” and “Fifty Mission Cap”, “Looking For A Place To Happen”, “Wheat Kings” and “Fully Completely”.

Critically acclaimed for more than two decades, The Tragically Hip has been at the heart of the Canadian musical zeitgeist, evoking a strong emotional connection between their music and their fans that remains unrivalled in this country.

Their studio catalogue includes their self-titled debut album “The Tragically Hip” (1987), “Up To Here” (1989), “Road Apples” (1991), “Fully Completely” (1992), “Day For Night” (1994), “Trouble At The Henhouse” (1996), “Phantom Power” (1998), “Music @ Work” (2000), “In Violet Light” (2002), “In Between Evolution” (2004), “World Container” (2006), “We Are The Same” (2009) and “Now For Plan A” (2012).
