That just proves that Private Radio should have been the first single...
Why don't you come on over? Stop making a fool out of me.

I always thought San Francisco or Afterglow were probably the most marketable songs on Harmonium but Private Radio was very pop sounding and could do okay too. Most of Asia have pretty different taste than America. Norah Jones is probably more huge in Asia than here with the amounts of dates in Japan and other Asian countries on her worldwide tour but I don't think she sold out the Hollywood Bowl when she played here.

"white houses" was a nice first single, but i agree with you. "private radio" would have been a HUGE hit

I'm from Taiwan. Private radio was never released as a single here... However, white houses did get extremely heavy airplay and on mtv. If I remember correctly, Harmonium was in the top 5 (maybe 2nd) for 2 weeks.

Quote from: "Ghisy"
Is it really true though?
You can't believe everything that's on Wikipedia because anyone can modify an article and some people actually put wrong stuff in there.
So unless I hear this from an official or trustworthy source, I won't believe it ;)
I'm an administrator on Wikipedia and have contributed to the Vanessa-related pages. I wrote almost all of the "A Thousand Miles" article, which I tried to make really comprehensive and which you can read at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Thousand_Miles. I'd like to note that people editing Wikipedia are strongly encouraged to cite their sources and that unreferenced content can be removed at any time. So if anybody here wants to change info in any article then they can do so (obviously), but it would be appreciated if they provided sources when they are adding or changing information. Sources for the Indonesian and other non-U.S. chart positions would be great, because the Indonesian ones aren't cited at the moment.

Now, what would be appreciated even more than that would be if anybody was willing to donate any photos they've taken of Vanessa under a free license, such as the GFDL. You may not know this, but Wikipedia is a free content encyclopedia, and we'd really prefer if unfree images (i.e. promotional photos, music video screencaps, album/single covers etc.) were only used when absolutely necessary. Also, you'd get to have your photos used in one of the most popular encyclopedias in the world.
