that Darren doesn't like about Australia are; that people want
to be like Americans and Brits so much, and there's a
racist politician that some people actually like.

back up to No. 3, selling an extra 3 million copies.

In the 'Truly
Madly Deeply' video there was enough money only to pay 2
actors

At first, they
didn't like ' Truly Madly Deeply' and wanted to put it at the
end of the album as a hidden track

'Truly Madly
Deeply' was shot during three days in the winter of 1997 in
Paris, France

'Truly Madly
Deeply' is their biggest hit in the USA. It stayed at No.1 for
eight weeks. It's the only one-sided single in the history of
the Billboard hot 100 chart to spend a full year in the top
30. 'TMD' breaks the record on the Monitor/Billboard Adult
Contemporary Airplay Chart, for staying in the chart for 106
weeks - longer than any single by any artist or group in the
history of the chart. It's the most played song on the US
radio in 1998.That's such a great song!
