I cant' speak for the rest of the world, but they did ok in the US through about the Lost Highway album. Obviously, It's My Life from Crush was a huge hit and kinda reintroduced the band to a new generation. Then, a few albums without anything major. Who Says You Can't Go Home was a pretty big hit here with a crossover into the country genre. I think it kinda faded a bit after Lost Highway. They just weren't any huge hits for radio after that.
