While "Semi-Charmed Life" (#4) and "Jumper" (#5) were the highest charting songs on the Hot 100, "Be" (#9) outpeaked "Never" (#14).

** "Motorcycle Drive By" is probably the only other song that non-fans could possibly name (certainly a fan favorite), yet it was never on any charts. It was never released as a single and was therefore ineligible to chart on the Hot 100. "Deep Inside of You", an obscure 2000 single from ''Blue'', was their only other chart entry there, and it peaked at a measly #69.

* RefrainFromAssuming: 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".
** "Motorcycle Drive By" sometimes gets called "I've Never Been So Alone" or "Alive". The actual title of the song only appears once at the beginning.
