plain white t's started touring in winter and autumn of 2006. by this time they were starting to get noticed in the music industry at last. although they were beginning to get noticed in the minor us rock industry, internationally plain white ts were not doing so well, by this point, they had not even sold 100,000 copies of any album anywhere outside of the us. hollywood records thought that re-releasing "hey there delilah" would make the band famous.
