thinking of "Misery", which I still hear at supermarkets & the like: Let Your Dim Light Shine went platinum! Grave Dancers Union went triple platinum so it's no New Jersey but still.

man "I Wanna Be Down" is a good song but I heard it so so so so so many times, I'm still burned out on it 18 years later

Let Your Dim Light Shine would qualify for the New Jersey poll if it'd gone multiplatinum.

"The Rhythm of the Night" is great but why does it even bother to have verses?
― DJP, Friday, 28 June 2013 17:59 (ten years ago) link
It was a minor hit on alt-rock radio

Every time I hear "Rhythm of the Night" I remember the time in college when my clock radio went off at 6:45 a.m. at the very precise moment she howls "THIS IS THE RHYTHM OF THE NIGHT!" and I laugh all over again.

If you don't fux with "On Bended Knee" you and I are not alike, that's all I have to say.

"On Bended Knee" isn't the objectionable Boyz II Men song on this list IMO

the version of "i'll make love to you" on the playlist sounds rerecorded btw

that's the pitfall of Spotify

yeah but via spotify i just learned boyz ii men released an album in 2009 where they cover the goo goo dolls and take that

The biggest airplay song not included here must have been "When I Come Around."

xp second-biggest! biggest was the friends theme song "i'll be there for you" by the rembrandts
a few other big radio hits from that year that largely bypassed retail:
gin blossoms "til i hear it from you"live "lightning crashes"alanis morissette "you oughta know" and "hand in my pocket"
