I went by the pop format, rather than Billboard Hot 100.

well, because if you go by Billboard, "Don't Speak" never even made the Hot 100.

I knew that. But to me, that's why the chart was invalid in the 90s.

How does that make it invalid? Just because certain songs weren't eligible shouldn't take away from the songs that were.

Thanks for the link, Halo. I have heard the song name Glycerine before and I listened to that clip. I guess I've probably heard that song before but honestly I didn't recognize it. Having said that, I do like Gavin. I've seen him in a few shows and obviously know that he is married to Gwen but I just don't think he has the voice or the songwriting chops to do much outside his alt base. That's me though. I'm pretty stingy with who I think can write and who can't.

If you check my link, you'll see they had more than one. On R&R pop, Glycerine peaked at #26 and Swallowed peaked at #50, and that's it.

Because it's easier to peak higher when all the most popular songs are taken away. At the time I thought it was ridiculous when, as my memory recalls, "Un-break My Heart" spent something like 15 weeks at #1. Well, it's pretty easy once you take out all the singles that were more popular, namely Don't Speak and Lovefool. If my memory is correct, Don't Let Go wasn't a single either, and at the tale end of its run I don't believe You Were Meant for Me was a single right away. To me it's like having to take steroid-era baseball home run stats with a grain of salt.

On a side-note, Gavin Rossdale's solo hit "Love Remains the Same" did far better on pop and HAC than his core format of alternative, peaking at #20 on Billboard Pop Songs and #2 on Billboard Adult Pop Songs in 2009.

Due to nostalgia this is probably my favorite Alt number 1 of the year.
My first concert as a teen was Bush/Goo Goo Dolls and some little opening band named No Doubt

I'm pretty sure his point was at the time they were a little opening band. It's meant to say, wow, remember back in the day, when this band was unknown?

On Nov 14 this song will have spent a month at number 1!
Wasn't expecting that, Young The Giant are still 250 spins away

Young the Giant? I think The Black Keys are more likely next.
