"Mr. Brightside" has reached number one in the charts of various countries. It was a number 10 hit on both the Billboard Hot 100 and the Official UK Singles Chart. The song was also nominated for a Grammy in 2006 for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal, but it lost to a live version of "This Love" by Maroon 5. The song was featured on the show, Jamie Oliver's School Dinners, a televised advertisement for JJB circa 2003, a Latin American commercial for Pantene hair products in 2007, a Lifestyle Sports ad in Ireland around the time of its release and an ad to promote the showing of the Robin Williams film, One Hour Photo, as the mid-week movie on Ireland's RTÉ One during June 2008. "Mr. Brightside" also features in the 2006 film The Holiday written and directed by Nancy Meyers. Amanda (played by Cameron Diaz) dances to the song alone on her first night in England.
The song structure itself is rather unusual for a pop song, discarding the standard verse-chorus-bridge style for a da capo al coda structure.
The song's Jacques Lu Cont remix also appeared on OST of Keinohrhasen, a German Romance film starring Til Schweiger.
It has been noted on several occasions that the song's lyrics are very similar to those of David Bowie's "Queen Bitch".
Dedicated as ever, with all the love in the world for you.
