Sometimes the old songs are just the good ones, right? Like Tracy Chapman's 'Fast Car' - a timeless track that keeps on getting better with age.
The song's resurgence comes as Chapman sang the track alongside country music star Luke Combs, who recently covered the track for his album.
And it's clearly led to the hit reaching a new audience, as well as bringing more new fans for Chapman's trademark husky vocals and iconic lyrics.
'Fast Car' made it back into the charts 36 years after its original release thanks to Combs' cover, and the new popularity also saw Ohio-born Chapman earn a Country Music Association (CMA) Award.

With this award brought record making for Chapman, as she's now the only Black songwriter to win the song of the year prize at the CMAs.
Speaking about why he decided to cover the track, Combs told the CMAs as he accepted the award: "I never intended, I just recorded it because I love this song so much, it's meant so much to me throughout my entire life. It's the first favorite song I had from the time I was 4 years old."
Whilst Chapman was nowhere to be seen at the CMAs, she did make a rare appearance at the Grammys on February 5 as she took to the stage alongside Combs and the pair performed the hit, which saw interest in the track skyrocket.
After she performed the 1988 hit, sales of the song have gone through the roof, skyrocketing so high that they are now up by 38,400%, CBS News reports.
Streams of 'Fast Car' also hit 949,000 the day after the Grammys performance.

While the Grammy Awards featured amazing performances on the night including Chapman and Combs, fans also went wild for Miley Cyrus, who accepted her first ever Grammy award for her song 'Flowers'.
The singer won her first Grammy in the category of Best Pop Solo Performance before later performing it for the crowds with John Legend, Taylor Swift and others seen singing along in the audience.
Cyrus also shared an emotional speech accepting the award as well as a second award for Record of The Year.
She said: "This award is amazing. But I really hope that it doesn't change anything because my life was beautiful yesterday. Not everyone in the world will get a Grammy, but everyone in this world is spectacular.

"So please don't think that this is important, even though it's very important, right guys?”
The singer then went on to thank those who helped make 'Flowers' happen, including shouting out her mom, her sister, her 'love' and her 'main gays'.
