"bunch of crazy white people... "
Every Billboard Modern Rock Chart #1 through 2005, listed in order of preference.19. Jimmy Eat World, "The Middle"
April 13 - May 10, 2002
It's mildly comforting that, to be really successful, a mall-emo band has to drop a single that's worthy of Rick Springfield (this one's even "Jessie's Girl" good!). Some of those album chart debuts might make you think there are no requirements at all, but opening week sales are deceiving.
Hey, don't write yourself off yet.
It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on.
Just try your best, try everything you can.
And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away.
