I feel like GYOW is one of those songs everybody knows whether they realize they know it or not. You start singing it, and they recognize it. At least 'round these parts.
Northern England. I love GYOW I just had never heard of it before getting into FM. From my personal experience although Rumors (I always feel a need to put the letter U in it ) is the album that everyone knows, Little Lies and Everywhere from Tango in the Night are bigger than anything on Rumors with probably the exception of Don't Stop.

You're supposed to put a U in it. That's the album title.

Also, I took a look at the chart positions on wikipedia. In the UK, while Rumours was huge in the US and the 4 singles from the album all were top 10 they barely made the top 40 in the UK. "Dreams" placed the highest at 24 and "You Make Loving Fun" didn't even make the top 40. It wasn't until Tusk and Mirage that they started to have some chart success with their singles. Though even then it was selective. "Tusk" was top 10, but Sara barely made the top 40 and the other singles didn't chart. Similarly with Mirage "Hold Me" didn't chart, "Gypsy" peaked at 46, but "Oh Diane" made top 10. That's very odd. With Tango they had 3 top 10 hits and mixed in were two outside the top 50. Very erratic.

Odd and erratic? Welcome to Britain, sweetheart. We don't follow the crowd here.
