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 and/or charts:
“The way to go to the circus, however, is with someone who has seen perhaps one theatrical performance before in his life and that in the High School hall.... The scales of sophistication are struck from your eyes and you see in the circus a gathering of men and women who are able to do things as a matter of course which you couldn’t do if your life depended on it.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“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)
