From the movie "Philadelphia." Won Grammy for Song of the Year and Oscar for Best Song.
 

 

 

 

 

 
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.

Although "6th Avenue Heartache," the first single from "Bringing Down the Horse," was a top 40 hit, the album didn`t really explode until "One Headlight" became a massive radio hit about six months later and won the rock song Grammy award. "Headlight" peaked at number 2 for five weeks on the Hot 100. The album is slotted here when its first single broke into the top 20 of Modern Rock airplay.
