the final radio show in Detroit. Imports of "Special" from Europe made enough dance club playlists by the end of 1998 that the song reached number three on Billboards Hot Dance Breakouts list on December 25; "Special" subsequently made its debut on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart dated January 9, 1999, at number 44. On January 4, 1999, "Special" was serviced to Top 40 radio stations in a new alternate mix for airplay. This second push of "Special" dovetailed with the announcement of nominations for the 41st Grammy Awards on January 6; Version 2.0 was nominated for both Album of the Year and Best Rock Album. On January 26, "Special" was declared "#1 Most Added" track at Top 40 radio with 53 adds, beating out Whitney Houston's "It's Not Right but It's Okay". "Special" peaked at number 11 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart on January 30, 1999, in its 14th week on the chart. Garbage returned from a sold-out European arena tour (where during a gap in dates they performed both "Special" and "The Trick Is to Keep Breathing" acoustically on French television show Nulle Part Ailleurs) to spend two months supporting Alanis Morissette on her North American Junkie Tour from February 16 in Cincinnati, Ohio. On March 6, "Special" peaked at number 10 on its ninth week on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart, and also debuted at number 35 on the Hot Adult Top 40 chart. The following week, "Special" debuted at number 40 on the Top 40 Mainstream chart. On March 20, during a break in the Junkie Tour, Garbage performed both "Special" and "When I Grow Up" as that week's musical guests on entertainment show Saturday Night Live. On March 27, "Special" debuted at numbers 88 and 71 on the Billboard Hot 100 and the Hot 100 Airplay charts, respectively. Garbage continued to promote the single on the talk shows Charlie Rose and The Late Late Show, and return to The Tonight Show to perform "Special" for a second time on April 2. "Special" continued to ride high in the mainstream charts throughout May 1999; peaking at number 16 on the Hot Adult Top 40 issue dated May 8 (in its tenth week on that chart); and peaking for three weeks from the same date at number 18 on the Top 40 Mainstream chart. "Special" peaked at number 22 on the Top 40 Tracks
