Entered chart w/e 26/11/83

 

Reached No.15 w/e 17/12/83

 

Weeks on chart : 9

 

One of the better '80s Christmas efforts. Should have been a bigger hit.

Absolutely love this song and the album it came from, Learning to Crawl (a seriously underrated album)
Excellent song deserves more exposure each year :wub:
Aye, it's a nice song and one that seems to be getting more and more recognised rather than the traditional 'favourites'.

A great song - but I'm not keen on Chrissie's vocals on this one - strange, as I think she has a magnificent voice usually.

 

Lovely artwork, too, isn't it?

It entered the chart the day before I was born. Ahhhhh! How fitting!

tho its supposed to be a good album from some of the reviews in the american music press...

Christ, that's a shockingly amateurish-looking album cover isn't it? Bootleg?

no the newbie - but they seem to be on a record label called shangri-la music who could be anybody but most likely quite a small indie (they have signed the duke spirit in the usa, as they are on You Are Here records now rather than the major Uni/A&M associated loog recordings)...however doing alright on one of the billboard charts last time i looked (one that would also have stuff like coldplay and snow patrol on it - think it was either adult contempory or tripple a)

Shocking that 2000 Miles only peaked at no. 15... great song.
