Earth, Wind & Fire’s ‘September’ Makes Its Debut on Billboard Canada Charts 48 Years After Its Release

The funk band’s cross-generational 1978 hit arrives at No. 49 on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100. Plus: U.K. indie band bôa is the latest act to experience a major resurgence with 1998’s “Duvet,” largely thanks to TikTok.

“Do you remember the 21st night of September?”

Those are the first words sung by Earth, Wind & Fire’s then-frontman Maurice White in the funk band’s instantly recognizable hit “September.” This week, the funky track debuts on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 at No. 49, dated Oct. 3 — nearly 50 years after its 1978 release. On the Billboard Hot 100, the song re-enters the U.S. chart at No. 45, but previously reached No. 8.
