Name (song)

"Name" is a song by American rock band Goo Goo Dolls. It was released in September 1995 as the third single from their fifth studio album, A Boy Named Goo (1995). "Name" became the band's first major hit,[3][4] topping both the US Modern Rock Tracks chart and the Album Rock Tracks chart. It also reached number five on the Billboard Hot 100. In Canada, "Name" peaked at number two on the RPM Top Singles chart and number one on the RPM Alternative 30. Although Goo Goo Dolls were considered an alternative group prior to the single's release, "Name" crossed over to pop and adult contemporary radio, greatly increasing the band's fan base.[citation needed] The band re-recorded "Name" for their compilation album, Greatest Hits Volume One: The Singles; this version featured minimal arrangements and production.[citation needed]
