Phil Collins - "Everyday"

Along with Rod Stewart and Elton John, Adult Contemporary radio relied on Phil Collins as their quarterback for the better part of two decades.  Phil did not disappoint.  He rattled off hit song after song despite the fact that each new song sounded just like the song that came before it.  During this time, it was nearly impossible to go an hour without hearing a Phil Collins or Genesis tune on an AC station.  His 1993 Both Sides album proved to be the beginning of the end of Phil's rein of #1 songs and albums.  "Everyday" peaked at #24 in 1994, and the twilight years of Phil's career were underway.
