1987 Hit Song With Signature Intro Debuts on Charts Decades Later

Fleetwood Mac's glittery pop-rock hit "Everywhere" is, well, everywhere again.

Released in 1987 on the band's first album in five years,Tango in the Night, the track was a massive success, peaking at No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 and hitting No. 1 on the Adult Contemporary chart, following another Tango track, "Little Lies." Now, nearly 40 years later, that legacy is now a brand-new chart milestone.

Per Billboard, Christine McVie's pop-rock gem about pure, uncomplicated love debuted this week on the Global 200. This marks the group's first hit from the 1980s to debut on the chart, a feat three of their 1970s tracks have accomplished. And that resurgence isn't happening by accident.

Breaking in at No. 188 with nearly 10 million streams worldwide, the song has been featured in advertisements, likely boosting its profile and streaming resurgence in recent years. It's also been finding new life with younger audiences, thanks in part to social media posts soundtracked with the hit.

Part of what's fueling the track's staying power is its sound, which was crafted with meticulous studio detail. Written by McVie, who also sings its lead vocals, the track was co-produced by Lindsey Buckingham, who crafted the track's signature shimmering intro.

Per American Songwriter, the producer created the twinkling sound from a pair of guitars equipped with effects.

Lyrically, the song likely borrows from real life. At the time, McVie was getting ready to marry composer Eddy Quintela, with AS reporting that McVie drew from her own love story as inspiration for the song.

The track's success was part of a larger story for the album. Though Tango in the Night took 18 months to finish, due to scheduling conflicts and solo careers, it produced four hit singles, including "Everywhere."

"Everywhere" isn't Fleetwood Mac's only hit seeing renewed attention. Since Billboard launched the Global 200 in 2020, the band has charted four of their iconic songs. The other three are "Dreams,""Landslide," and "The Chain."

We love to see a nostalgic music comeback, especially one that is reaching a whole new generation of listeners.
