Less Than Jake returned to major label status with its next album ''[[Anthem (Less Than Jake album)|Anthem]]'', releasing the 2003 LP on [[Warner Bros.]]/[[Sire Records]]. Debuting at No.&nbsp;45 on the Billboard 200 (the band's highest to date), the album featured three major singles in both the US and the UK, with "She's Gonna Break Soon" (which spent a couple weeks on [[Total Request Live|TRL]]), "The Science Of Selling Yourself Short" (which spent five weeks on the Billboard Top 40, peaking at No.&nbsp;37), and "The Brightest Bulb Has Burned Out" (featuring [[Billy Bragg]]), which spent time in the UK Top 40. Actress [[Alexis Bledel]], known for her role as [[Rory Gilmore]] on ''[[Gilmore Girls]]'', appeared in the video for "She's Gonna Break Soon", where she played the unnamed subject of the song, an angsty teen girl who has a nervous breakdown and destroys her bedroom over the course the song. The band spent the rest of the year promoting the new album by playing the Warped Tour and gained support from [[Fall Out Boy]], [[Yellowcard]], and [[Bang Tango]] during its fall 2003 tour. The band released ''B Is for B-sides'' in July 2004. The album comprised tracks that didn't make ''Anthem'''s final cut and was produced by Less Than Jake. The [[DVD]] retrospective ''The People's History of Less Than Jake'' appeared a month later, featuring both professional and bootleg recordings of the band. The band also held the opening spot on the main stage during the [[Projekt Revolution]] tour in the summer of 2004 with [[Linkin Park]], [[Korn]], [[Snoop Dogg]], and [[The Used]] before taking a long break to write the group's next record.
