“Wherever You Will Go” by The Calling (f/ Erin Mallory Long)

This week, we’re exploring the career and music of The Calling, a band that somehow managed to define the early 2000s with their massive hit “Wherever You Will Go.” Whether it was the song’s appearance in Coyote Ugly or simply the right sound at the right time, The Calling burst onto the scene with one of the biggest songs in the history of Billboard’s Adult Pop Songs chart. But like many rock bands who never built a strong following through years of touring and grassroots growth, their success faded almost as quickly as it arrived. Does The Calling deserve more than having a song you might still hear wherever you will go, like the grocery store or the gas station, or was their success the most anyone could hope for in their situation? Today, we’re joined by Erin Mallory Long to find the answers. One Hit Thunder is brought to you by DistroKid, the ultimate partner for taking your music to the next level.
