cover songs charts

What about AC/DC doing Baby Please Don’t Go?Lots of good ones mentioned but here’s a few I think should be considered.

Two alternate versions went to Number 1: first All Saints in 1998, then a raucous team-up from Pink, Christina Aguilera, Lil Kim and Mya in 2001.As well as being an excellent excuse to play dress-up,  Erasure’s Abba-esque EP gave the duo their first and (so far) only Number 1 in 1992. superbCcr ….heard it thru the grapevine better than marvins …over 11 mins long classic had it on in car todayMiss the good music of Karen Carpenter.

Before Bette Midler made it a ubiquitous chart-topper, "Wind Beneath My... "Touch Me (All Night Long)," Cathy Dennis (1991… While lead track Take A Chance On Me Lots of vintage tunes have got a new lease of life thanks to dancefloor-focused cover versions, and eventually it was the turn of Tracy Chapman's mournful Fast Car.Tracy's original hit the Top 10 twice – first reaching 5 in 1988, and following an appearance on Britain's Got Talent, hitting a new peak of 4 in 2011.

The original never charted but following an outcry by fans, it did reach Number 36 the same week Alexandra’s went to Number 1.Another cover by the late Jeff Buckley sat right behind Alex’s, but the X Factor star won the race, selling over 1.2 million copies, and you can't argue with a million-seller. Buckley’s great performance has all the dark beauty and sensuality that composer Leonard Cohen intended (and it followed a great, if less accessible version by John Cale). It gave them a third chart-topper and was Christmas Number 1 that year. And hey, while you have the Stones up there, might want to add Grand Funk Railroad’s covers of Gimme Shelter or another of their covers, Feelin’ Alright by Traffic.Uploading videos for 25 foot screens. ..and yes Patti Smith Co-Wrote “Because The Night” w/ Springsteen.

Whithey Houston's cover of Higher Love had long languished as a bonus track on the Japanese versions of her third album I'm Your Baby Tonight, before Kygo got his hands on it for a cheeky remix and took it to Number 2. 96 Tears – The Stranglers. Don had only made it to Number 2. Johnny Cash’s version, itself a cover of an unreleased (in the UK, at least) Nine Inch Nails song, peaked at 39. !One More Cup of Coffee (Bob Dylan) – Calexico & Roger McGuinnKD Lang After the gold rush, The Beatles Twist & Shout, Status Quo Everytime when you walk in the room & All around my hat, Jethro Tull A Christmas song & Cats squirrel , The Byrds Turn turn turn, Roy Buchanon Sweet Dreams ,Mike Oldfield Wonderful land, The Zoot Eleanor Rigby, Lou Gramm Tin Soldier, Melanie Safke Ruby Tuesday.

It does not prevent copyright infringement.

When … On the other hand, Harry Nilsson’s cover stands as one of pop’s greatest solo vocal performances, wringing every bit of passion from the 1970 Badfinger tune.

Richard and Karen Carpenter’s chart run on the Hot 100 began with a cover version.

Feeling Good – Muse. Their remake of the Beatles’ “Ticket to Ride” peaked at No. That version of Hurt is so good.Some great choices from you all so far. But the stars of TV show Soldier Soldier marched all the way to the top.

Not only that, it’s a million-seller!
