Originally didn't like this due to overplay on the radio with Q101, 101.9 the Mix, and B96 playing it endlessly (the AC stations in my market like 100.3 and Lite FM 93.9 may had played it too). I also remember seeing this song's music video often on MTV. Nowadays, I like this song and can see why it was as popular as it was. One of the best Gwen Stefani/No Doubt songs.

A pop Classic. One of the best from that era and still holds up today. Gwen Stefani at her best during this era.

One of their best songs, if not their best. 24 years ago today, "Don't Speak" scored the first of 15 weeks on top of the Adult Top 40 chart. "Speak" also spent its fourth of 16 non-consecutive weeks at No.1 on the Hot 100 Airplay whilst its parent album, "Tragic Kingdom" was on top of the Billboard 200 for a second week. "Don't Speak" reached No.1 in the U.K. and held that position for 3 weeks in 1997. My cd single comes with the album version and an Alternate version of the song recorded in New Zealand, quite lovely.

"Don't Speak' is terrific. In general, I enjoy Gwen Stefani's work with No Doubt more than solo ("Cool" being a notable exception among singles).
