Both Have A Nice Day and Who Says were top 10 singles too (Who Says actually made the top 5), but again I'm not really sure if anyone outside of the fan base remembers those songs? Hits, sure, but not in the same league as the 80's and 90's stuff.



Everything from Lost Highway bombed over here, and that was pretty much the end of the commercial single releases here and the band barely charted in the singles chart since then.



As far as the general public is concerned in England, the last song that they remember is It's My Life. Sad but true....
How do you know that's the last song they remember? Did you take a poll recently?

There are a lot of songs that become forgotten over time... I'll shuffle through a bands catalog and get that "yes, I do remember this song" after a few listens..
