** Semi-Charmed Life was their first single, and is probably still the song they are most remembered for. Even barring that, it had the band's highest peaks on 8 of the 9 charts it was released to. Only in Canada, where it peaked at #2, was it outpaced by another single (Never Let You Go made it to #1).

* SignatureSong: "Semi-Charmed Life" is their most famous song, though one could argue that "Jumper" is just as iconic. "Never Let You Go" is pretty well-known, too. While "How's It Going To Be" was a sizable hit back in the day, it doesn't seem to be as remembered as the lower-charting "Never" and gets little recurrent play.

** "Semi-Charmed Life" is sometimes referred to as "I Want Something Else". Funny enough the lyrics say "Semi-Charmed kind of life" making things somewhat confusing.
** "How's It Going To Be" (their second radio hit) is frequently referred to as "How's It Gonna Be". This is confusing too, because "gonna" actually appears in the song, not "going".
** Their third big hit isn't called "I Would Understand", it's [[NonAppearingTitle "Jumper"]].
** "Never Let You Go" (their final hit) isn't called "Turn Around".
** A far more obscure example (it didn't do so well on the charts), but "Deep Inside Of You" isn't called "I Never Felt Alone".

** "Jumper" is easily the most famous and straightforward. Despite it's simplicity, it touches pretty much every emotional nerve when dealing with someone who's suicidal.

** "The Background", from it's godlike intro/outro, to the shattering crunch of the final refrain, to it's heartbreakingly empty lyrics ("The plans I made still have you in them" is a particularly famous one). Probably the saddest part about it is that nobody can tell if it's about either the end of a relationship or the death of a lover.
