DEF: Tracy Chapman “Fast Car”
Cleveland-born musician Tracy Chapman has hit the Top 10 on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart twice. Her biggest hit came in 1996, when “Give Me One Reason” rose to number 3. Her first Top 10 hit, though, was her first charting single, “Fast Car.” On this date in 1988, “Fast Car” hit its peak position of number 6, where it would spend two weeks. “Fast Car” is today’s Daily Eighties Flashback.
