I'm in a Michelle Branch kind of mood lately. "Leave The Pieces" was released as the debut single from country duo The Wreckers formed by Michelle Branch and Jessica Harp. The song topped the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart for several weeks and made it to #34 on the Hot 100.
This single was very well received by critics and it earned the duo a large amount of award nominations, including one for Best Country Duo Vocal Performance at the 2007 Grammy Awards.
Their album Stand Still, Look Pretty released on May of 2006 went on to sell nearly a million copies in the US, mostly on the success of this song alone.

Hard to believe this song was released ten years ago! "Everywhere" was the debut single from Michelle Branch, released in July of 2001. The song peaked at #1 in Indonesia and #2 in New Zealand, unfortunately it wasn't that big of a hit everywhere else, in the US the song peaked at #12 while it only reached #18 in the UK and #19 in Australia. The song was not a major chart hit, but I'm sure most of you have heard and like this song. It was criminally overlooked.
"Everywhere" was awarded with the Viewer's Choice moon man at the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards. Michelle's album The Spirit Room only peaked at #28 on the Billboard 200 but it ended up selling over a million copies and getting certified Platinum in the end.

We're going back to 2004 when Modest Mouse released their single "Float On." Why? because Lupe Fiasco has sampled this song on his new single "The Show Goes On" and I don't think it does the original any justice as to how good it actually is.
"Float On" only peaked at #68 on the Hot 100 chart, but it did reach #1 on Billboard's Modern Rock chart. Their album Good News For People Who Love Bad News was certified Platinum for sells of over a million copies.
