Even almost 25 years after the alternative rock band released their mellow feel-good favorite, "Island in the Sun," the song still holds up as a nostalgic summertime anthem.
Originally featured on their self-titled third studio album (often referred to as "The Green Album") in May 2001, Weezer's "Island in the Sun" was released as a single the following July, just in time for summer.
With a radio-friendly sound and a beachy, easygoing vibe, the track appeared on a few Billboard airplay charts, but it never reached any No. 1 spots. It also never even cracked the Hot 100 list.

It peaked at No. 3 on the Alternative Digital Song Sales chart in May 2022, and in the same month reached No. 18 on the Digital Song Sales chart for all genres.
"Island in the Sun" also ranks on Parade's roundup of the 81 Best Summer Songs of All Time, coming in at No. 48.
