That's the thing. You do not know that.

"With Love" was fire and it was used for her perfume commercial, and it still didn't even crack the top 30. Radio never embraced Hilary even when she was at her best... If "Come Clean" and "With Love" couldn't go top 10, what the HELL makes you think "Stranger" would have?
But feel free to keep living in your fantasy land where it could've been a hit song since we'll never actually find out. Though, didn't it get a proper release in the UK and it flopped?

What the hell are you talking about? "With Love" peaked at #27 (#26 for a day) on radio, & "Come Clean" peaked at #9.
The only reason "Come Clean" didn't chart higher than #35 on the Hot 100 is because only pop radio played it (it didn't crossover) & the song wasn't released in a single CD format (digital downloads were not yet counted.)
