Everyday was a top 5 hit in England and got a decent amount of play, but the average person won't remember it. For that matter, the same goes for Say It Isn't So and One Wild Night which were top 10 hits. Even All About Loving You was a top 10, but Misunderstand did nothing.



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..

I would say, at least in Spain, that his last big hit was Have A nice Day. The rest of the singles did absolutely nothing, and "Who Says" it was invisible on the radio.

I remember when "Who Says" was supposed that they were promoting it in parts of Europe and Usa at that time by the internet info, but in Spain was kept putting in rotations Have A Nice Day, it was a song that lasted a lot in the rotations of the radio stations.

Born to Follow sounded a lot on the radio in Spain too.

On the other hand,tbe only song that remind me a bit of These Days in THINFS is Color Me In.
That is the song I most miss Richie on it.It could have had a Bitter Wine vibe.

Loving what they've been doing, this is on the right track social media wise.

Umm because I live here and I talk to people. I also spend a lot of time with the rock/music community over here. Trust me, the average person on the street doesn't remember anything post It's My Life. Have A Nice Day perhaps a little more than the rest, but that's it.

Even in Rock clubs over here stuff like Have A Nice Day gets no reaction, while It's My Life/Prayer/Bad Name/Bed Medicine/Faith etc will get a huge response.

Play One Wild Night, Say It Isn't So, Everyday, etc and you just get blank looks.

But that is not only a Bon Jovi "problem".
That can also be said with a lot of the comtemporary ans older bands to BJ
What was the last song that the average people remember from U2,from Bruce,from the Stones,from Bryan Adams etc?
For me the problem is the chance of the music industry
Rock music is no longer interesting for the radios.
I dont know in your countries,but here in Spain it is imposible to liste to an average radio station and listen to a song that is not a latin song.
