"The Diary of Jane" is a song by American rock band Breaking Benjamin. It was released in June 2006 as the lead single from their third album, Phobia. The song, one of their most notable and successful, is the fastest added single ever in the history of Hollywood Records. It gained a massive amount of radio play throughout the United States and reached number-one under three rock charts. The single was certified double platinum in the United States on November 24, 2015, and is their most successful single in terms of sales based on this in their home country.
The single moved rapidly up the charts in its first week of official release. It debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at #55 before reaching #50 and spending 15 weeks on chart. It was the #1 most-added track at three formats: Rock, Modern Rock and Active Rock. This success propelled the song to #2 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and #4 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart. "The Diary of Jane", as of June 2006, could be heard on over 100 radio stations in America. "The Diary of Jane" was the fastest added single in Hollywood Records history, topping such artists as Queen. The success of the song led it to be featured in the video game NASCAR 07 and as downloadable content for Rock Band and Rock Band 2. The song was also featured in the 2008 dance film Step Up 2: The Streets.
In total, the song has three different versions, the original version, the album version and the acoustic version, with the original being the only one that is not featured on Phobia. The original version was released with the single and was the track used for the video and radio airplay. It maintains almost no difference from the album version, with an exception of the ending fading out on a lower note along with other minor differences.
