Hit me up Jans ex Posted May 25, 2021 Report Share Posted May 25, 2021 None. The production is not good enough on this album to produce real singles. Dammit was an exception and if we’re all real with ourselves, it was never a huge radio smash anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billboard also said it was the second-most played song on KROQ in all of 1998 which meant quite a bit at that time. To me, that's a pretty big radio smash, especially coming from a band who was clearly not on the radio radar at all before the song came out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my perception is different and could just be because of my location in Michigan. I hate popular radio and MTV now, but back in 1997/1998 I was VERY in tune with it. Perhaps obsessed. And I just never heard of blink until What’s My Age Again started poppin on MTV. That’s not to say Dammit wasn’t all over KROQ out in California. So although it had some decent success, to me I wouldn’t consider it a radio smash simply because I never heard it on the radio, at a time I was always listening to radio and watching MTV/VH1. But again this is just my perception, I am not the law of the land lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dammit wasn't exclusive to Los Angeles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blinkstillrules Posted June 17, 2021 Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 I remember "Dammit" and to a much less extent, "Josie", being on MTV but I never heard either on local radio here at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
