About this Article

The band fun. has been on a wild ride since its dark pop-rock sophomore album, "Some Nights," was released last February. They performed at an inaugural ball, and had one of last year's biggest anthems with the six-time platinum No. 1 hit "We Are Young." The group's second single and title track is a multiplatinum radio smash. And now, the band approaches the Grammys with six nominations.
