I love Savage Garden, but that song was so not my favorite of theirs, so it's especially annoying to see that it stayed on the chart for 2 years, meanwhile, Darren Hayes' "Insatiable" peaks at #21 and that song is gorgeous! Maybe not as universal as "I Knew I Loved You" but still, it shockingly underperformed. Darren gave the label quite a few good songs from his solo album and they couldn't do anything with it. A shame.

Love the Faith Hill, BSB, Leann Rimes "I Need You" (that song was a monster ballad), and "Soon" (Diane Warren writes another good one!) ("Soon" definitely underperformed chart-wise as well, but I guess the radio stations had Leann Rimes fatigue) (same could be said of Darren Hayes as well I guess) Unfortunate.
