Released June 22, 1993, Phair`s exceptional "Exile in Guyville" album never reached a mass audience because its best songs were too "explicit" for radio airplay. After it appeared at or near the top of end-of-year critics` lists of the best albums of 1993, it scraped the bottom of the national charts for one week in January 1994.

The song "Longview" was officially recorded on charts and in chart books as "Long View" at the time the single was in its heyday. Since then the single-word spelling has prevailed. Today, Wikipedia, All Music Guide, and Green Day CD compilations all use that spelling. The "Dookie" album is slotted here the first week "Longview" hit the top 10 on the Modern Rock airplay chart, which is when the album broke into the top 60 on the Billboard 200.
