" November Rain" was the most successful single from the albums domestically, reaching number 3 on the Hot 100. Use Your Illusion II reached number 1, which Axl Rose credited to fans knowing more of the songs from II due to live performances.
Upon their release, the albums occupied the top two positions on the US Billboard Top 200 Album chart.
