The title track off The Rising was a fairly big hit.

Also, Elton John's The One was a pretty big hit from what I remember and Eric Clapton's Tears In Heaven.
Wasn't the title track on "Harvest Moon" a pretty big hit?

I'm only one dude. But I didn't hear any of those songs until I bought the album. Which was like in 2002.

it was played endlessly because it was a 9-11 thing..
Well the problem here was the fact that is was released nine months after 9/11... but I do believe television grabbed a hold pretty hard. I was no longer watching tele by this point but do remember it being played quite a bit that summer over FM.

Also, if we really want to talk Springsteen Secret Garden was also pretty huge in the mid-90s.

I always liked that song. Hadn't heard it in many years.

also, his re-release of Candle in the Wind, don't know if that counts

Dani California and Snow (Hey Ho) seemed to be big, but I'm not sure about the others
