"Through The Rain" among Top 10 Best Sellers
Mariah's inspirational "Through the Rain" ballad was the eighth best-selling single of 2003.
Clay Aiken's "This Is the Night" and Ruben Studdard's "Flying Without Wings" were the top two sellers, moving 948,155 and 728,243 units respectively. Neither was a big radio-airplay hit, illustrating a disconnect between mostly young single buyers and radio stations targeting broader audiences.
The American Idol finalists' version of "God Bless the USA," a single that received virtually no radio airplay, was the fourth-best-selling single with 309,655. (Kid Rock's "Picture" was third with 392,489 and Hilary Duff's "So Yesterday" rounded out the top five with 141,360. Both were radio hits.)
The rest of the top 10: Korn's "Did My Time" (132,967); The Eagles' "Hole in the World" (121,376); Mariah Carey's "Through the Rain" (116,785); Aaliyah's "Miss You" (98,358); Jewel's "Intuition" (96,142). Only the last two achieved widespread radio success.

Do you know the funny thing about that? It only reached #83 on the Billboards Top 100! #83........can you beleive it, yet it was one of the 10 best selling songs!
A lot of USA is based on airplay.......75% I think, and because it was released long after airplay finished, thats why it did rubbish. Shame really

TTR was #1 on the sales charts in the US ..I don't know for how many weeks, but it was ... yes it is true, 75% that influences the billboards are the airplays, 25% the sales...
What do you think why she gets so bad airplays...
I think TTR and My saving Grace (it was played on special radio stations) were good enough to be played...
BOTH maybe is to sad or what should I say for radios...boy..hmm I am not convinced of this song..a mistake to sell it as a single I think...
