You may never know, but I do.

They were 11 years younger and Jon looked 20 younger older and had much more powerful voice.

There is pretty much zero precedent for a rock band of their age to have a hit song. Especially, one that never had the critical/media backing. The closest example would be Aerosmith with I Don't Want To Miss A Thing, but even so, Tyler was a few years younger than Jon, did not look gray and miserable and, most importantly, the song was a written by a hitmaker Dianna Warren with Celine Dion in mind, for a massive blockbuster movie. Not a third single of a commercially underwhelming album.

No matter what they do, they will NEVER have another hit song. At best what they could hope for is a moderately successful lead single (ala Memory), but at this point I'd say even that is unlikely.
