[4] After releasing their fifth studio album Blood Sugar Sex Magik in September 1991, the Red Hot Chili Peppers broke into the mainstream.

While the album was a sizable hit, peaking at number four on the US Billboard 200, it failed to match the success of its predecessor Blood Sugar Sex Magik.

Frusciante rejoined the Chili Peppers in 1998, and they released their seventh studio album, Californication, in June 1999.

It was a commercial success, peaking at number three on the Billboard 200 and being certified six times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

[4][9] The album spawned six singles, including the Billboard Hot 100 top ten hit "Scar Tissue".

[4][5] The band released their 11th studio album, their first with producer Danger Mouse and last with Klinghoffer, titled The Getaway in June 2016.

It also gave the band a number-one single in four different decades, tying them with Green Day for the most ever on the Alternative Songs chart.

It became their 28th top ten single on that chart which is a current joint record also held by the Foo Fighters.
