Mainstream Rock Airplay

The Irish rockers' twelfth single appeared on the album Rattle and Hum, which featured both live and studio recordings.

In addition to being a career landmark for U2, the high-energy track built on a classic Bo Diddley beat also broke chart records in the US, becoming the first song to top both Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks and Mainstream Rock Tracks charts.

The following year, Desire earned a Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group.

In 1988, on this date, Def Leppard was number one on the charts with Love Bites.

Uh, Crazy Bitch, I think people think of as the big song from this record, but actually Sorry did better than it.

Um, Crazy Bitch, uh, peaked at number, uh, 59 on the Billboard Hot 100, and number three on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.

It's gone four times platinum in the US, but Sorry, which came out a full year and a half after the album was released, it came out, it was released as a single on September of 2007.

It went to number nine on the Billboard Hot 100, made the top 10 on the Hot 100, uh, 32 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.

It's gone two times platinum.

Uh, Brian, I guess we will, uh, start with, uh, your, I guess, history with Buckcherry.
