The most successful song on radio countdowns is “Fidelity”, which appears on 26 lists with a best position of #4.

Regina Spektor was born in Moscow in 1980 and grew up to be the most gloriously odd piano-pop songwriter New York had produced in years. She came up through the anti-folk scene around the East Village, self-releasing her first 3 records, among them Songs in 2002 and Soviet Kitsch in 2003, and playing them to downtown crowds who couldn't quite believe what they were hearing: a pianist bending pretty melodies around vocal hiccups, sudden whispers and big, swooping leaps.
Sire signed her in 2004, gave Soviet Kitsch a major-label rerelease and then put out Begin to Hope, which went gold. "Fidelity" is the one that snuck onto the radio, all plucked strings and stuttering charm, with "On the Radio" right behind it. Far and What We Saw From the Cheap Seats both debuted at number 3 on the Billboard 200, and "Laughing With", "Eet" and "All the Rowboats" proved the fame hadn't sanded down the strangeness.
She has kept at it since, with Remember Us to Life in 2016 and Home, before and after in 2022, and her adopted city has returned the love: New York named June 11, 2019 Regina Spektor Day, and the Bronx put her on its Walk of Fame.
