Better Off Alone in the airplay top 50, have never noticed it there before (since release). Interesting it's one of the highest old songs, but it's deserved.

 

I find it fascinating that Heart play it all the time now as a 'classic' on rotation, as I cannot recall it being a commercial radio staple when it was actually out in 1999 (it had a lot of support from Radio 1 and the TV music channels).
