I hadn’t realised Everywhere wasn’t top 10 in the US. In the UK it hit #4 and was their highest charting song since Peter Green.
It’s interesting what he said about it gathering more streams than any of the 13 songs above it that week. It really is a song that’s culturally more significant than its chart placing.
On another note, he gave a brief mention to Richard Dashut. Does anyone know whether Dashut went to the service for Christine? I presume he did, but he must be in very poor health, so I don’t know whether he could travel.

Everywhere is unique for many reasons. It was huge internationally hitting #1 in Belgium and #2 in Ireland and charted high all across Europe. It did not have the same success in the states and those low budget videos were never played on MTV. I think releasing their live 1987 Tango concert version on MTV would have made the song chart higher in the states. It was used in that UK commercial which made it go silver and then the car commercials made it sell again. It went against the grain a bit. Usually Mac singles always chart higher in the states. When Chris needed to pick a song from Tango for the Dance, it was Everywhere instead of Little Lies.
