Chart performance
The song, an apology for forsaken love,[1] "I'm Sorry" reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on 27 September 1975, as well as reaching number one on the Easy Listening chart.[2] Six weeks after topping the pop chart, the song was Denver's third and final number one on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart.[3]
