"I wrote this song while lying, listening to the telephone in my apartment... but she never called”: The story of the heart-breaking ballad that’s become – finally – Jeff Buckley’s first Billboard chart hit

Jeff BUCKLEY, 1994.

Almost three decades after his death, Jeff Buckley has finally scored a hit on the Billboard Hot 100 this week, when Lover, You Should Have Come Over entered at Number 97.

The reason is, inevitably, because the song has gone viral on social media, TikTok specifically. Though viewings on the platform don’t actually count towards the US chart, the track has obviously stirred up enough interest that it’s spilled over onto other platforms.
