World Charts Update: Fleetwood Mac are 'Everywhere'

The big news today is that Fleetwood Mac score their first Top 20 hit in the UK in 25 years with 'Everywhere' re-entering the top reaches of the chart this week jumping from #87 last week to #15 this week. Ironically it was 'Everywhere' that was their last top 20 hit reaching #4 in April, 1988.  Thanks to the Three Network Dancing Pony advert, the song has been enjoying a resurgence in popularity across the UK and Ireland.

'Rumours' hangs on for a sixth week in the top 20 moving down only slightly to #19 this week.  The 1998 'Greatest Hits' gets a bump on the chart because of 'Everywhere' jumping to #69 from below the Top 100 at #128 last week.  The Very Best Of also sees an increase in activity, likely because of 'Everywhere' just making it back inside the Top 100 at #99.  'Go Your Own Way' sees itself back within the Top 100 singles chart at #98 this week also placing just inside the Top 40 Catalogue Singles Chart at #40.

In Scotland and Ireland, much like the rest of the region, 'Everywhere' enters both the Top 40 Scottish Singles Chart at #13 and in Ireland the Top 100 Singles Chart at #46.
