It became their only release to chart, reaching #37 on Billboard's Top Heatseekers chart, partly on the strength of the single "Need You Around" which reached #35 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart.

Bossanova

Two singles were released from Bossanova, "Velouria" and "Dig for Fire"; both charted, at #4 and #11 respectively on the US Modern Rock Tracks chart.

Cold Contagious

"Cold Contagious" was not a big hit, although it was more successful than the third single from the album, "Bonedriven," which failed to chart at all in the U.S. "Cold Contagious" peaked at No. 18 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and No. 23 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart.

Found Out About You

It reached number 25 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it the second single from the album (after "Hey Jealousy") to crack the Top 40, and it is the only Gin Blossoms song that reached number one on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart.
