All-girl band the Bangles reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart with "Eternal Flame" on April 1, 1989.This was the band's second number one single, after "Walk Like An Egyptian" reached the pinnacle in 1986. They had also scored another top-ten hit with "Manic Monday."The track was included on their third studio album, "Everything," along with the songs "In Your Room" and "Be With You." Singer Susanna Hoffs has reportedly claimed that she was naked when she recorded "Eternal Flame," explaining that Davitt Sigerson had told her that Olivia Newton-John improved her performances in the studio that way."Everything" would be the Bangles’ last album before tensions in the group would force a breakup. They would reform in the early 2000s to put out another studio album. "Eternal Flame" took over number one from "The Living Years" by Mike and The Mechanics. It held on for a week, before being replaced by "The Look" by Roxette.
