High 20 Whitney Houston Hits

I look at the Billboard charts recurrently. The B-aspect, “I am going to Turn to Stone” was also launched, however solely made it to #seventy six on the charts. Oftentimes, it’s the hits that keep musicians relevant in the minds of well-liked tradition, even when they were launched a long time prior. A number of test charts (and a download-sales chart) had been revealed in 2004; this mixture (throughout the official singles chart) reflected a altering era in which gross sales of physical singles fell and obtain gross sales rose.

The demise of Michael Jackson on 25 June 2009 triggered a surge in sales of his recordings; this was the first time in the download era that the effect of a major star’s death on the chart could be noticed. And since she made her US chart debut in early 2009 with “Chasing Pavements,” Adele has stayed at or near the highest of the music world.

The corporate regards a particular period of the New Musical Categorical chart (solely from 1952 to 1960) and the Report Retailer chart from 1960 to 1969 as predecessors for the interval previous to 11 February 1969, the place multiples of competing charts (none official) coexisted facet by facet.

14. Causing A Commotion – 1987 – also from the “Who’s That Woman” album and movie, Madonna wrote this tune which was inspired by the abusive and violent nature of her husband, Sean Penn. The Billboard Hot 100, the most generally used metric to determine Top forty songs, has undergone several completely different iterations during its more than 60 year life-span, but none as drastic as the one presently occurring.
