Eternal Flame (song)

"Eternal Flame" is a love song by American rock group the Bangles from
"Eternal Flame"
their 1988 album Everything. It became a hit single, when released in 1989,
peaking at number one in the charts in nine countries, including Australia,
the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States. It was written
by the established songwriting partnership of Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly
(becoming the pair's fifth Billboard Hot 100 number one in five years) along
with the Bangles' Susanna Hoffs. Having previously reached number one on
the Billboard Hot 100 in December 1986 with "Walk Like an Egyptian," the
Bangles became only the third all-female group to score multiple number-
ones in the United States, after the Supremes (twelve) and the Shirelles (two).

Unlike the rest of the more uptempo songs on their album Everything, Steinberg
"Eternal Flame" is a ballad. Co-writer Billy Steinberg describes it as "the Producer(s) Davitt Sigerson
Beatles meet the Byrds."
The Bangles singles chronology
The song was inspired by two eternal flames: one at the gravesite of Elvis "In Your "Eternal "Be with
Presley that the Bangles saw when the band visited Graceland,[2] and one at a Room" Flame" You"
local synagogue in Palm Springs which Steinberg attended as a child.[3] (1988) (1989) (1989)
Steinberg recalled to Songfacts: "Susanna was talking about the Bangles
having visited Graceland, and she said there was some type of shrine to Elvis Music video
that included some kind of eternal flame. As soon as those words were "Eternal Flame" (https://www.youtub
mentioned, I immediately thought of the synagogue in the town of Palm e.com/watch?v=PSoOFn3wQV4) on
Springs, California where I grew up. I remember during our Sunday school YouTube
class they would walk us through the sanctuary. There was one little red light
and they told us it was called the eternal flame."[4]

In the BBC programme I'm in a Girl Group, Hoffs revealed she actually sang the studio recording of the song completely
naked after producer Davitt Sigerson pranked her by telling her Olivia Newton-John had done the same thing, but he later
told Hoffs he had been lying the whole time.

It spent one week at number one on the Billboard Hot 100[5] and topped the US adult contemporary chart for two
weeks.[6]

The song debuted on the UK Singles Chart in February 1989 at number 81 and peaked at number one in April, spending
four weeks there. It went on to spend twenty weeks in the chart and was the UK's third best-selling song of 1989.

The song spent three weeks at number one in Sweden and 18 weeks in the Swedish charts

The song also spent seven weeks at number one in the Dutch Top 40. The song was Australia's 4th biggest selling single of
1989 and was sent up on the Australian TV show Fast Forward.

"Whole "Eternal "You Are"

The video begins with the band members walking up to the screen in a (2001) (2001)
stylized pace, in plain white clothes and bare feet, with a dark background.
This is shown often in the video, and is also how the video ends. Throughout the video, each of the band members do
different poses and dance moves in time to the song, with the dark, cloudy background in place. Also in one of the scenes
in the video, all three band members are seen in a line, with a glass floor and four metal posts with lights in the
background that accompanies the perennial dark background. In this scene, the girls are seen doing a basic dance routine
in time with the song. For Jenny's solo, she is seen lying down on the floor doing a sexy pose. However, Frost later claimed
in the So Far So Good DVD, that she had tonsillitis for the video shoot, and was lying down due to being ill and couldn't
stand up.[40] There is also a version of the video that contains clips from the movie The Parole Officer which was taken
from the DVD "So Far So Good".

Chart performance
Atomic Kitten made the song another massive success; it entered the top twenty in every country it was released, except
for Australia, where it peaked at number 47. It entered at number one in the UK, staying at the top for two weeks. On its
first day, "Eternal Flame" sold 35,358 copies, and its closest rival was Destiny's Child's "Bootylicious", which sold 13,182
copies in its opening day. The song sold over 140,000 copies in its first week and 70,000 copies in its second week. The
song sold over 400,000 copies in the UK, and was certified Gold. The single entered the top five in over ten countries. The
single went to number two in the French singles chart, a huge success, and became one of the best selling singles by a girl
group of all time in France. However, it was their only single to reach the top 20, making them one-hit wonders there. It
was certified gold for sales of over 250,000 copies. Atomic Kitten's version charted higher in France than the original
version by the Bangles.

Over a year later, the single appeared in the Canadian Singles Chart. "Eternal Flame" was Atomic Kitten's only single to
chart over there. It debuted at number 20, and peaked at number 15. It spent twelve weeks in the top forty—five of which
were in the top twenty, making the song a moderate success. The single was also a number-one hit in the Flanders region
of Belgium, and Atomic Kitten's became their best-selling single there, subsequently lasting sixteen weeks on the chart; it
became the 28th best selling single of 2001 in Belgium. It also spent one week at number one in New Zealand. "Eternal
Flame" went on to sell over one million copies worldwide and was certified Gold in the United Kingdom, France, Sweden,
