That peaked at #50?!?!
I thought that song was at least a top 40 hit here. It was a massive ringtone hit.

Despite their chart positions those songs aren't flops. They just didn't have heavy airplay or a proper physical single release.

Maybe you could say that about "Dirrty," but "Stan" was a legitimate flop in the US. The song it sampled, Dido's "Thank You," took off before it.

Dirty and Stan were HUGE on TRL, and that's all that really mattered back then.

I didn't know that about "Stan"
I can't think of many. Sweet Dreams (Beyoncé) charted better in Europe overall compared to the states.

Me Against The Music:
#1 - Canada
#1 - Australia
#1 - Europe
#1 - Italy
#2 - United Kingdom
#35 - United States
Due mostly cause of the radio ban
Also, not exactly a global hit but Im Not A Girl, Not Yet a Woman hit #1 in Japan and #2 in Europe, but didnt even crack the hot 100 in the U.S

Not a total BOMB (2 million sold), but radio help back on this genre-shaping now 2x platinum, 2007/08 smash from collecting a top ten position.

"Stan" definitely felt huge at the time. It wasn't radio friendly at the time. That edit was a mess.
