1997's ''[[Maybe It's Me]]'' was the band's major label debut. Palter recorded drums for only a few tracks, and, after Nori considered recording the rest of the drums himself, session drummer Mike Levesque stepped in. The album featured a more polished, commercial sound than the band's earlier albums, and launched the hit "[[Friend of Mine (Treble Charger song)|Friend of Mine]]".  Soon afterward, [[Trevor MacGregor]] joined as the band's drummer.  That lineup, along with several of their songs from this album, were also featured in the 1999 film ''Mr. Music''.  The band played the role of an 'undiscovered' indie band that gets discovered and helps to turn fictional Tone Records around from its slump.
''[[Wide Awake Bored (album)|Wide Awake Bored]]'', released in 2000, completed the band's evolution to a pop-punk style. This album also featured the hit singles "[[American Psycho (Treble Charger Song)|American Psycho]]" and "Brand New Low".<ref name="Inc.2001">{{cite magazine|author=Larry LeBlanc|title=Canadian Music at a Crossroads|magazine=Billboard|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=fhQEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA48|date=31 March 2001|publisher=Nielsen Business Media, Inc.|pages=48–|issn=0006-2510}}</ref>

In 2001, Treble Charger performed at the Snow Jam festival in Halifax.<ref>{{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20011121220051/http://chartattack.com:80/damn/2001/09/1903.cfm "Live: Snow Jam Halifax Citadel Hill Halifax, NS".]}}. ''Chart Attack'', September 19, 2001, Review by: Ryan O'Connor</ref> In 2002, the band released ''[[Detox (Treble Charger album)|Detox]]'', featuring hit single "[[Hundred Million]]" and "Don't Believe It All".

Priddle, identified with Treble Charger's early indie rock direction rather than the later pop-punk, left the band in 2003. Initially, it was said he was taking a break from the group,<ref>{{cite magazine|url=http://www.chartattack.com/news/34650/bill-priddle-takes-a-break-from-treble-charger |title=Bill Priddle Takes A Break From Treble Charger |magazine=[[Chart (magazine)|Chart]] |date=29 September 2003 |access-date=2008-11-22 |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110607103814/http://www.chartattack.com/news/34650/bill-priddle-takes-a-break-from-treble-charger |archive-date=June 7, 2011 }}</ref> but it later came out the departure was permanent, and Nori had asked him to leave sooner than Priddle had intended.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=http://www.chartattack.com/news/34819/ex-treble-charger-bill-priddle-i-wasn%C3%A2%E2%82%AC%E2%84%A2t-happy-going-in-the-punk-pop-direction |title=Ex-Treble Charger Bill Priddle: I Wasn't Happy Going In The Punk-Pop Direction |access-date=2008-11-22 |magazine=[[Chart (magazine)|Chart]] |date=23 October 2003 |first=Elizabeth |last=Chorney-Booth |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110607104031/http://www.chartattack.com/news/34819/ex-treble-charger-bill-priddle-i-wasn%C3%A2%E2%82%AC%E2%84%A2t-happy-going-in-the-punk-pop-direction |archive-date=June 7, 2011 }}</ref>

[[Kelly Osbourne]] guitarist [[Devin Bronson]] filled in for Priddle for the rest of the ''Detox'' tour. Priddle continued his collaborations with [[Broken Social Scene]] and is a member of his new band [[The Priddle Concern]].

By this time, their work with and the success of their proteges [[Sum 41]], whom Nori produced, had started to eclipse Treble Charger's own career. In late 2004, it was reported that Treble Charger itself was on hiatus, but an animated version of the group, including Priddle, would appear, with Sum 41, on [[The Comedy Network]] series ''[[Kevin Spencer (TV series)|Kevin Spencer]]''.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=http://www.chartattack.com/news/37297/treble-charger-sum-41-get-trashed-on-tv-show |title=Treble Charger, Sum 41 Get Trashed On TV Show |magazine=[[Chart (magazine)|Chart]] |date=19 October 2004 |access-date=2008-11-22 |first=David |last=McDougall |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110607104105/http://www.chartattack.com/news/37297/treble-charger-sum-41-get-trashed-on-tv-show |archive-date=June 7, 2011 }}</ref>

However, a message posted on July 20, 2004, on their official website said they were continuing to record and the band was still together.  But on September 1, 2005, Nori said in an interview:

:''"Thanks for all the amazing support you have given us. It seems like we're bigger now then we have ever been. I only wish more people had caught on to our music sooner so that we could have had an easier time at being a band. I'm not saying it's over yet but I am saying that right now I need to focus on other things. Maybe in a while I will get the urge to write a new TC album but right now my heart's not in it. Thanks for enjoying our music."''

The hits "American Psycho" and "Brand New Low" were featured in [[EA Sports]] Hockey game ''[[NHL 2002]]'' and "Hundred Million" was used in ''[[NHL 2003]]'' and in [[Splashdown: Rides Gone Wild]].  EA also used "Wear Me Down" and "Business" from the ''Wide Awake Bored'' album in [[Triple Play series|Triple Play 2002]].  "American Psycho" was used in promotional advertisements for the [[direct-to-video]] movie ''[[American Pie: Band Camp]]'' and featured in the movie ''[[Dude, Where's My Car?]]''

On February 3, 2006, Nori disbanded Treble Charger, ending their 14-year career.
