About Round Here [UK #1]

"Round Here" was released in 1994 from Geffen Records as the second single from the Counting Crows' debut album, August and Everything After (1993). The song's origin pre-dates the formation of Counting Crows, when the band's future frontman Adam Duritz wrote the song with The Himalayans members Dan Jewett, Chris Roldan and Dave Janusko. Although not as successful as their previous single, "Mr. Jones", "Round Here" became another hit for the band in the United States and Canada. Despite not charting on the US Billboard Hot 100 due to rules in place at the time, it peaked at number 31 on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart, number seven on the Modern Rock Tracks chart, number 10 on the Mainstream Top 40 and number 11 on the Album Rock Tracks chart. In Canada it peaked at number six on the RPM Top Singles chart and was the 57th most successful song of 1994. The song also reached the top 20 in Iceland, peaking at number 12. more »
