I love how multi-layered the production is, and at the time it really felt like one of those moments where the song had transcended her fanbase and been properly big with the public.

Looking back (for valid reasons over the title) its release was such a mess - coming out in Japan in 1997, Australia in early 1998 before Europe and the UK - I remember at the time import copies being relatively easy to come by which I’m sure harmed sales of the UK release a bit.Just looked and It wasn’t a particularly busy release week - James and George Martin were the only new entries ahead of it at #1 and #6, although there were a lot of heavy hitters at the top end of the charts (Titanic Soundtrack, Celine - Let’s Talk About Love, Robbie - Life Thru A Lens, Madonna - Ray Of Light, Verve - Urban Hyms).
1 hour ago1 hr 'All The Lovers' is wonderful and deservedly one of her best regarded songs. Just realised but I think from working out the entire top 4 now, it's the perfect 4 <3
