Produced by Farihin Abdul Fattah, Puji-Pujian grossed sales of more than 750,000 units in Malaysia, and 3,500,000 units old worldwide, which makes them the most successful Malaysian music group in terms of album sales.

The remaining four members continued releasing albums. Raihan has released of 11 albums and won many awards in Malaysia. Raihan has won AIM Anugerah Kembara three times for their extensive international tours.
