Their top single peaked at position #32 on Billboard music charts, and was #1 on the Christian hit Music chart (Src:air1). The band garnered a large airplay and fan base in the UK.

As performers, the sisters combined their experience in theater, dancing, instruments, and singing, and become one of the first christian pop groups with heavy dance beats and choreography on stage. They have performed in front of crowds as large as 85,000. Because of their energetic personalities and humble approachability, the group was always a favorite among their audiences. They intrigued crowds with the tight harmonies only families tend to possess.

After years of professionally touring and performing, the group officially dissolved in 2004.
