 Unusually, despite going all the way to number one on the AC listing, the song did not enter "Billboard"s all-genre chart, the Hot 100, at all.Brickman, whose recordings mix pop and New-age music, has regularly placed songs on the AC chart since the 1990s, but "Valentine", which reached number 50 in 1997, is his only song ever to cross over to the Hot 100.After one week in the top spot, "Simple Things" was displaced by "Hero" by Enrique Iglesias, which spent eleven weeks at number one, adding to the four which it had accumulated at the end of 2001.
