"Everyday" is a song by English musician Phil Collins, released as the second single of his fifth studio album, Both Sides (1993). The single achieved success mostly in North America in early 1994. In 2004, it was included as the seventh track on Collins' compilation album Love Songs: A Compilation... Old and New.

Release

Due to the disappointing US performance of the first single of the album, "Both Sides of the Story", which only peaked at number 25 on the Billboard Hot 100,[1] Collins' record label urged the release of the second single.[citation needed] The decision proved right as the single peaked one place higher than "Both Sides", at number 24 on the Billboard Hot 100.[1] However, in Collins' native UK, "Everyday" performed worse than the previous single (which made the top 10), peaking at number 15.[2]

In Canada, "Everyday" reached number eight on the RPM 100 Hit Tracks chart and peaked atop the Adult Contemporary Tracks chart on 18 April 1994.[3][4] It ended 1994 as Canada's 59th-most-successful single and fourth-most-successful adult contemporary song.[5][6] Elsewhere, the single reached number 17 in Iceland and entered the top 40 in Flanders, Germany, Ireland, and the Netherlands.[7][8][9]

Music video

The song's music video, directed by Jim Yukich, features Collins moving out of a luxury apartment he (presumably) shared with the person he's addressing in the song. Inside the apartment all of the items are covered and ready for the movers, and the walls are bare white. Collins' record label did not promote the single heavily, resulting in the video receiving minimal airplay on MTV and VH1, just as same as his previous single, "Both Sides of the Story."
