"Candy" is the debut single by American pop singer Mandy Moore released from her debut album So Real. The music video had a cameo by the girl group PYT.

Many feel this song was a perfect example of a teen pop song from the late 90s/early 2000s. Record labels began riding the wave of teen-oriented pop music, which would result in a huge phenomenon sweeping the glope even at our present time.

[edit] Chart Success

"Candy" was the debut and lead single of Moore's first album So Real. It performed moderately well on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking just outside the Top 40, at #41. Despite this, the song is the most successful single ever recorded by Mandy Moore. Internationally, the single received more success peaking at #6 in the UK and #2 in Australia. Its music video was nearly retired from TRL: it spent 61 days at the countdown. If the video was released nowadays, it would easily retire, due to the video run limit reduction from 65 to 50 days.
