"Boys On The Radio" by Hole

Actress and rock star Courtney Love scored three chart appearances with her band, Hole, in the 90s. Love's life has been peppered with tragedies, including the deaths of her husband Kurt Cobain (Nirvana) and Hole's bassist, Kristen Pfaff, both in 1994 when Hole's breakthrough album arrived. 

"Doll Parts" hit #58 that year, but the band's follow-up record in 1998 was even more radio-friendly, earning "Celebrity Skin" and "Malibu" spots at #56 and #81, respectively. Both of those singles were co-written with Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins.

Hole's 1998 record had plenty of other good tunes, including "Boys On The Radio." It's another acoustic-based rocker like "Malibu," and could have had charting potential.
