I didn't know it was ever on the charts. But, it is "Forbes"

Why is there a recent increase in sales this week?

Because Homer and Bwboy were fighting about it. And everyone listens to them.

And that John guy who pops in here like once a year, and has his MASSIVE TANTRUM, then storms off.

I love you too, John Boy.

I think this had something to do with it.

Seems to be more a rendition of the Eva Cassidy interpretation. Still Christine's song of course.

The judge actually said the name "Christine McVie" which thrilled me.

Doesn't take much to woo you.

I’ve noticed it recently on the iTunes chart (All Genres not just the Rock chart) and I wasn’t sure why it appeared there all of the sudden. I didn’t see anything with the Rumours Live release that’s used Songbird to promote it.

This news makes me so happy and sad at the same time. I’m feeling a sweet sadness. The very feeling Christine’s voice often evokes….

Looking at the page views for Songbird on Wikipedia, it experienced a massive spike in views on September 26th. From September 14th-25th, the daily page views for "Songbird" ranged from 231-416. On the September 26th, the page experienced 2,518 views.

I'm unaware of how this occurred, although other songs in their discography have also experienced unexplained brief spikes in popularity. During the week of 21 October 2021 - 27 October 2021, "Tango in the Night" (the song, not the album) entered the UK Singles Download chart at #26. "The Edge of Seventeen" also happened to be at #11 on the same chart that week.
