Notes
  • A ^Released in Canada only.
  • B ^"You Oughta Know" did not originally enter the Billboard Hot 100 in 1995. The single release of "You Learn" included a live version of the song and was therefore counted as a chart position for it when "You Learn" charted from mid-1996 until early 1997.
  • C ^Indicates the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart peak positions.
  • D ^European release only.
  • E ^Indicates the song was not released or promoted as a single and the album cut charted by itself.
