Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Dreams’ Returns, Classics Mark Chart Milestones

Several classic rock and pop songs are drawing renewed attention through chart milestones and lasting popularity. Led Zeppelin’s “Immigrant Song,” inspired in part by the band’s visit to Iceland, is remembered for Jimmy Page’s celebrated riff, while Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams”—written by Stevie Nicks amid the band’s relationship turmoil—has returned to Billboard’s Rock Streaming Songs chart. The Monkees’ debut hit “Last Train to Clarksville” topped the Hot 100 in 1966; its seemingly romantic story was a discreet account of a young man leaving for military service in Vietnam. Debby Boone’s recording of “You Light Up My Life” spent 10 weeks at No. 1 in 1977, although Kasey Cisyk performed the version heard in the film. Bachman-Turner Overdrive’s “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet,” originally recorded as a joke involving Randy Bachman’s brother Gary, also reached No. 1 in 1974.
