Performance in The Charts
The Bridge is certified double Platinum in the USA. Seven million copies of the album were sold worldwide. However, this was a far cry from the 24 million copies of the band's previous album, Happy Nation / The Sign.
The singles from the album found extremely varied levels of success. While "Beautiful Life" became a #1 club hit in the U.S., and reached #15 on Billboard's Hot 100 singles charts, the release of "Never Gonna Say I'm Sorry" in August 1996 was given no promotion and peaked just outside the official U.S. Billboard Hot 100.

Famous quotes containing the words performance in, performance and/or charts:
“Tennis is more than just a sport. It’s an art, like the ballet. Or like a performance in the theater. When I step on the court I feel like Anna Pavlova. Or like Adelina Patti. Or even like Sarah Bernhardt. I see the footlights in front of me. I hear the whisperings of the audience. I feel an icy shudder. Win or die! Now or never! It’s the crisis of my life.”
—Bill Tilden (1893–1953)
“True balance requires assigning realistic performance expectations to each of our roles. True balance requires us to acknowledge that our performance in some areas is more important than in others. True balance demands that we determine what accomplishments give us honest satisfaction as well as what failures cause us intolerable grief.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
“There’s one basic rule you should remember about development charts that will save you countless hours of worry.... The fact that a child passes through a particular developmental stage is always more important than the age of that child when he or she does it. In the long run, it really doesn’t matter whether you learn to walk at ten months or fifteen months—as long as you learn how to walk.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
