Cyndi Lauper — Time After Time

The first ballad Cyndi Lauper ever released as a single is broadly charting today, tracked across 136 country and platform charts. Written with Rob Hyman and pulled from her debut She's So Unusual — the first album by a female artist to spawn four top-five Billboard Hot 100 singles, per Wikipedia — the song has long outgrown its new-wave origins to become a standard covered across genres, from Miles Davis to country radio. Lauper is mid-run on her Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Farewell Tour, having just closed a Las Vegas residency and played Atlantis Bahamas, according to Yahoo. The track has logged well over a billion Spotify streams. A farewell tour tends to send a catalog like this back into rotation.
