Ao Vivo (1998), As Quatro Estações (1999), Quatro Estações: O Show (2000) and Sandy & Junior (2001), which sold more than 9 million copies together, receiving multiple diamond certificates.Certificados de Sandy Pro-Música Brasil Época magazine compared their success to Beatlemania. One of the best-selling Brazilian artists of all time, Sandy & Junior sold over 15 million albums.

They had a self-titled weekly television series between 1999 and 2002 on Rede Globo and released the movie Acquária in 2003; Sandy also starred in the soap opera Estrela-Guia in 2001. Earlier, they had appeared in a Renato Aragão movie, O Noviço Rebelde, in 1997.
