Its not every week you get a charting recording of Indian devotional music repeating the mantra of Hare Krishna, recorded by the UK branch of the Radha Krishna Temple and produced by George Harrison for Apple Records. It's catchy though, I'll give it that. As it was difficult to market, its success was an "astonishing feat" according to author Peter Lavezzoli, who said the song proved how huge the Beatles' cultural influence was. The more conventional (to Western pop ears) follow-up single "Govinda" reached #23 the following March. Just say no’ was a phrase coined by the First Lady of the United States Nancy Reagan as part of the US war on drugs and it was catchy enough that someone was bound to make a song with that title eventually. So, it might as well have been the cast of CBBC’s then groundbreaking school drama Grange Hill, who sang the song in conjunction with a controversial storyline about Zammo Maguire’s Heroin Addiction, (which has been exhaustively recapped on the GH wiki.) The song was a top 5 hit – our favourite part is Kevin’s rap break. https://djmag.com/news/eliza-rose-and-martinez-brothers-link-new-single-and-music-video-pleasure-peak-watch three most popular singles in a week based on combined sales and streams.

Play the game/Fight the fight/But what's the point on a beautiful night?' Three heartfelt minutes in an otherwise sloppy decade for Macca. Clearly those old Rupert annuals meant a lot to him - although recent interviews in which he admitted he was taught to kill toads when a cadet suggest this may have acted as a kind of belated apology. Recorded several years earlier, the song's belated success took Charlene by surprise and no new material was available for release afterwards until it was too late. [55] I initially refrained from including very non-pop folk 45s like this because they're not weird taken on their own terms. But I'm judging their weirdness based on them being British hits. How on earth did a Scottish royal military band get a droning instrumental bagpipe rendition of Judy Collins' version of Christian hymn Amazing Grace become a No. 1 single? And how was it a hit in Canada and the US too? Who was the target market? Tom Ewing (who I'll keep quoting) said of this: "To state the obvious, it sounds more than a little out of place – a sudden incursion of solemnity, but also in its way the most extreme sound to reach Number One in 1972." Judy's own version, pure a cappella, had reached No. 5 in December 1970. Note: there have been a few collaborations and multi-artist EPs which have charted under the name 'Various Artists', [178] none of which match the one singing "Perfect Day" as listed above, which is why this record is eligible for inclusion on this list. (Note: In 2000, there was another version of "Perfect Day" released for BBC Music Live [179] which charted at number 69 in the chart, while records like " Thank ABBA for the Music" are currently listed under the 'Various Artists' tab at officialcharts.com and not under each artist's discography as in the case of the later chart books by HiT Entertainment/Virgin Books.) [178] Aggregate ensemble groups: charity records - special cases [ edit ] Band Aid Axford, Song Sheets to Software, p. 20: "As sentimental songs were the mainstay of Tin Pan Alley, novelty and comical songs helped to break the monotony, developing in the twenties and thirties as signs of the times."
