I can't vouch for the number of covers among these but Polyhex threw these up.

 

Save Me 9

Tell Me 9

Love Me 8

From my 7s list to the end of 1999, I now have:

Change (13)

Paradise (13)

Alright (10)*

Guilty (10)

* Polyhex doesn't include Supergrass - Alright as it was a double A-side with Time

 

Edit: nothing new and not mentioned here yet from my 6s list, but from my 5s I now have:

Falling (12)

Sunshine (10)

So it seems there were two songs called Crazy which I missed because I searched for one word titles:

 

08/12/1990 Patsy Cline Crazy {1990} 14

05/11/1994 Aerosmith Crazy/Blind Man 23

 

This puts 'Crazy' in joint top place with 'Stay'!

^did you cancel Julio Iglesias and Leann Rimes? both covers, same song as Patsy Cline... but she covered it first

ps - 'Girls' by the Beastie Boys was part of a double A-side.

Thanks, upgraded to 11 in the list

 

Boyfriend - 16

 

Ahh nevermind actually only 7. But 3 in the past 8 months!

And none before 2006 which is weird. Why did no one sing about boyfriends before that?!

 

What about "I Love You" / "Kiss Me" / "I Need You" ?

I Love You - 6

Kiss Me - 3

I Need You - 11 (updated in the list)

 

I found several 8s yesterday on Polyhex but never posted them. Now I forget them. :blink:

I wouldn't bother with 8s, there'll literally be hundreds of them.

Oh I didn't realise they were both covers... 'Crazy' back down to 19 then :lol: (I'd like to make the list more accurate by identifying covers but I don't have the time to go through them all!)

Some good ones there, all added to the list. I also found another one which no one had mentioned:

 

Smile (13)

Nat "King" Cole, Robert Downey Jr and Michael Jackson all recorded the same 'Smile'. I don't remember the Katherine Crowe version at all but as it seems to have a picture of Charlie Chaplin on the cover I'm guessing that's the same song too.

Heaven (15)

 

including one cover of course by DJ Sammy and Yanou featuring Do.

OK, 'Smile' downgraded to a 10 then.

Shanice's 'Lovin' You' is a cover of Minnie Riperton's so there's only 9.

 

Heaven is already in the list with 14.

  • 1 month later...
  • 6 months later...
  • 7 months later...

'Stay' extends its lead this week.

Justin Bieber has quite a collection of hits with common song titles - 'Hold On' also makes another gain since the last update.
