Aeroplane (Red Hot Chili Peppers song)


"Aeroplane" is a song by the Red Hot Chili Peppers from their 1995 album One Hot Minute. It was the third single released from the album and a music video accompanied its release. Although the song was left off the band's Greatest Hits album, the music video was included on the accompanying DVD.

Chart success

The single peaked at number 8 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart where "My Friends" hit number 1 and "Warped" hit number 7. However, it outperformed "Warped"'s number 13 placing on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart by peaking at number 12. It was the only crossover hit from the album hitting number 30 on the Mainstream Top 40 chart where the other 2 singles failed to do. It was also the highest charting single in the UK from the album, peaking at number 11.

Live performances

"Aeroplane" was the most performed song during the band's One Hot Minute tour. However, like all songs from the One Hot Minute album, with the exception of "Pea", it wasn't performed again following the departure of Dave Navarro until February 6, 2016, at Pier 70 in San Francisco, where the song was performed for the first time since 1997. The song was played regularly during The Getaway World Tour.
