That would make a brilliant Greatest Hits CD and would sell by the shedload at Christmas time.
July 14, 20204 yr Author That would make a brilliant Greatest Hits CD and would sell by the shedload at Christmas time. If she doesn't get that pending album thats been postponed out by xmas I could see a stop-gap hits album covering it :D
July 14, 20204 yr Don't think her label would go for a Greatest Hits, then people would stop buying 19,21,25 and that's the last thing the label wants same reason why nobody is releasing GH anymore (Coldplay, Rihanna, Beyonce,...)

A PLACE IN THE SUN (2018) 11. MIDNIGHT RIDER (2013) 12. OUT FROM UNDER Ali Campbell (2009) Various combinations of personnel during the 21st century after 20 years with an unchanged lineup in the 20th century and 20 years of non-stop lite-reggae and social-commentary reggae hits. Mostly cover versions in the last 20 years and obviously still appealing to me over the whole last 20 years even if not in the actual charts.

IN COMMON Alicia Keys (2016) Empire State Of Mind part 2 was included in the same run as Empire State Of Mind with Jay-Z cos it's not as good and at no stage would it have charted higher, and giving chart points to the same song twice in one week would have been silly. Empire State Of Mind is just short of a million "sales" in my chart.

EVERYTHING EVENTUALLY Appleton (2003) 12. AFTER ALL (2018) 90's Girl Band also big enough in the 21st century to garner a dozen, albeit including solo stuff - all four members have charted outside the band. The top 2 are just short of a million "sales". The 8 tracks to hit 250,000+ "sales" equals Adele's total, but she leads on million sellers.
July 21, 20204 yr Interesting to see Water Under The Bridge and Send My Love being so far apart for you in the Adele rankings, they feel quite similar to me! Enjoy them both anyway, two of my favourite Adele songs.
July 24, 20204 yr Author Interesting to see Water Under The Bridge and Send My Love being so far apart for you in the Adele rankings, they feel quite similar to me! Enjoy them both anyway, two of my favourite Adele songs. I know what you mean - maybe that's why the latter didn't grab me quite as much, though to be honest Adele sets quite a high bar, the whole top 12 did well :lol: I'm going to include chart positions and weeks on chart and "sales" too as it's becoming obvious that 12 hits for Adele isn't quite the same worth as 12 hits for Akon, and Amy Winehouse's short but tempestuous and massive career only just managed 12 chart entries... speaking of...

July 25, 20204 yr Author That's twelve more than I would have had in my list :lol: I'll be brutally honest, the only ones I strongly recall are Sexy Chick and The Sweet Escape. I expect I'll be reminded of the Jacko and Snoop tracks if I play them, but the rest I draw a blank on.... That can't be a good sign - or else more likely it's because as I get older I struggle to recall music from the 21st century while the 20th century is fresher the further back I go to the 70's. That's getting older in a nutshell - your teen years stay embedded in your memory and anything older than 6 years ago tends to fade :lol: The Rose-tinted Specs Condition I call it... :o

August 6, 20204 yr Author I think you're being rather harsh on Last Shadow Puppets! I thought so too! - oddly enough there's about 5 tracks just outside the top 12 which I could have sworn had done better than they actually did - I remember them better than half the Arctic Monkeys hits. I think my personal charts have gotten more competitive since I started plodding through new releases each week.... :D
