"Wish" by Nine Inch Nails

Trent Reznor is the mastermind behind the industrial techno-rock band Nine Inch Nails (NIN). Building on breakthrough hits like "Head Like A Hole" and "Terrible Lie," neither of which charted, NIN was poised for greater success.

That happened in 1994, when NIN scored their first chart hit, "March Of The Pigs," from the classic album, "The Downward Spiral." The song went to #59, and the follow-up, "Closer," reached #41. The band would reach even greater chart heights in 1999 when "The Day The World Went Away" hit #17. NIN disappeared from the charts until 2005 when the excellent "The Hand That Feeds" reached #31.

"Wish" was on the 1992 EP, "Broken." A great high-energy track, it is surprising this one didn't put the band on the chart first.
