===''One Chord to Another'' to ''Pretty Together'' (1995β2001)=== In early 1995, rumours began circulating that band was contemplating breaking up.<ref name="LarkinHR"/> Though they played a handful of shows in the summer of 1995, including a headlining gig at [[Edgefest]], the band did indeed consider themselves broken up by late 1995. Even so, Sloan decided to release another album to help their Murderecords label financially and boost its profile.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=zA4EAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA16|title=SLOAN REUNITES FOR ENCLAVE SET|date=February 1997|publisher=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]|access-date=January 6, 2019}}</ref> Though Geffen wanted to keep Sloan on the label, the band wanted to leave and Sloan was released from the label. In 1996, Sloan released ''[[One Chord to Another]]'' on Murderecords in Canada.<ref name="LarkinHR"/> The album featured three hit singles and would go on to sell over 80,000 copies, becoming their best-selling album in Canada to date. In 1997, the band won their first [[Juno Award]], winning the "[[Juno Award for Alternative Album of the Year|Best Alternative Album]]" award for ''One Chord to Another''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://junoawards.ca/awards/?from-year=1970&to-year=2016&nomination-category=&wins-only=yes&artist=Sloan|title=Awards|website=Junoawards.ca|access-date=2019-01-06}}</ref> In 1998, the band released ''[[Navy Blues (Sloan album)|Navy Blues]]'', which was certified gold in Canada. In 1999, Sloan released their first live album, ''[[4 Nights at the Palais Royale]]''. The live album was followed that same year by their next studio album, ''[[Between the Bridges]]''. In 2001, Sloan signed a licensing agreement with [[BMG Music Canada]].<ref>{{cite book|url=http://www.chartattack.com/damn/2001/07/1102.cfm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030624221318/http://www.chartattack.com/damn/2001/07/1102.cfm|url-status=usurped|archive-date=June 24, 2003|title=Sloan Sign With BMG|publisher=[[Chart Attack]]|access-date=January 25, 2019}}</ref> That same year, Sloan released their next album, ''[[Pretty Together]]''.
