There is a youtube video of On With The Show tour in Ireland. The crowd is singing along to Everywhere so loud that its almost overpowering the band. Gives me goosebumps.
Rumour has it that word of Lindsey's quitting the band got to Belgium sort of late due to a newspaper strike in 1987. Once the news broke, it propelled Everywhere to the #1 spot and remains Fleetwood Mac's only #1 song in Belgium.
The Mac's highest charting single Dreams in the states only charted at #25 in Belgium and #8 in the Netherlands. Everywhere was mopping the floor with Dreams in Europe.

Wow, the lengths you’re going with this are ridiculous.
You’re saying that a longtime guitarist/singer/songwriter/producer, who’d just had a top five hit months earlier, leaving one of the biggest rock bands in the world while they’re actively promoting a successful album, becoming one of the top stories in the music press, had zero impact on the success of the single that was released less than two weeks after the announcement, that the song and album didn’t get a bump because of any of that.
You’d have to be intentionally obtuse to believe that.
