Songoftheday 3/27/19 - I got lost couldn't find my way, and I guess there's nothing more to say...
from the album Both Sides (1993)
Billboard Hot 100 peak: #24 (one week)
Weeks in the Top-40: 13
Today's song of the day comes from Phil Collins, whose fifth album Both Sides had landed him another top-40 hit in the fall of 1993 with "Both Sides Of The Story". But with that single not even making the top-20 in the U.S., coming off of a massive record like But Seriously with four top ten hits (let alone his We Can't Dance album with Genesis which landed three top-20 hits), this seemed like a big letdown (although in the UK it made it to #7). The second release from the record would be the soft ballad "Everyday". Written and produced by Phil, the song takes you on an emotional rollercoaster of love and pain that I'm still not quite sure where it stopped...
"Everyday" became the second top-40 pop hit from Both Sides in America in March of 1994. The song was much biggest on "easy listening" radio stations, spending a month (four weeks) at #2 on the Adult Contemporary format chart in Billboard magazine. Internationally, the single peaked at #8 in Canada, and reached the top-40 in Italy (#14), the UK (#15), Ireland (#26), Belgium (#26), the Netherlands (#28), and Germany (#35), and almost made that mark in France (#44).
A third single (and my favorite from the album), "We Wait And We Wonder", peaked at #36 in the Netherlands, and froze just under the top-40 in the UK (#45) and Canada (#43).
