I've never, ever heard Prayer on radio over here (I lie, I did hear that live performance on Radio 2 during the HAND tour, but I'm talking about the proper version). Other than the current single at the time of release, I very rarely hear Jovi on the radio. Bizarrely, the song I've probably heard most since 2000 is These Days - rather a strange choice on radio, but a pleasant one.
Anyway, back on topic, I'm pretty sure Always is still the best selling single over here.

Virgin Radio in the UK play the big three of Slippery regularly. And niteclubs always play Prayer.

I havnt heard IML once ANYWHERE since the Crush period, so i dont know why its considered such a big hit.

Vh1 do show alot of the videos though.

As for actualy single sales, rather than airplay, Always is easily their biggest hit in the UK.

Not in general at all, as i said Always was by far the bigger hit on the UK chart. Sure, IML did chart high in its first week but then disappeared (like they tend to do nowadays - Everyday anybody?) 'Always' hung around the chart for a good time, and you hear it radio here and see it on the likes of Vh1 and even kerrang the odd time, Its my life you dont hear alot of at all in the UK anymore.

I remeber IML was Top 10 in Germany for more than 10 weeks and number 1 for at least 2 weeks. It was number 4 of the annual single charts in Germany in 2000. Its still played regularly on many radio stations over here...
