Tony Cartmill Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 Sinatra had top 10 in the early 40's. IF "New York, New York" made top 10 in early 80's, then he's in the running. Bing Crosby had top 10 in the late 20's. If the duet "Little Drummer Boy" with Bowie in Xmas 1977 made the top 10, then he's the winner...

Cozmik Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Cher's record is for the span between #1 hits (not just top ten)65 to 99 = 34 years. Prior to "Believe" hitting #1 for Cher the Beach Boys held the record with 24 years and 4 months when "Kokomo" hit #1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cozmik Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 And back to the subject of the thread, I want a live album or DVD to immortalize these reunion concerts before a studio album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 If they do a new album, maybe somebody can record a new Christmas song or two (Eventually, a powerpop Christmas album-Next year?). That definitely would get every radio station's attention- A little guitar at the beginning for two bars, next drums, then singing(Maybe four words, like 'I can't live without'..). The intro words could be part of the song title. Later the last word, 'without is repeated' with one or two more words in the title. [All of a sudden], there is a bass line, and no one else(No singing here). Then, maybe drums playing only on the down beat. Next- vocals and bass, then keyboards, leaving everyone to wonder, "What's that?" I always call these, 'music effects'- Getting their attention with something different from everyone else, because everyone expects the instruments to play at the same time. -Remember, no one can forget Bing Crosby's 'White Christmas'. It is so traditional, but has lasted decades on the radio stations.I hope they do a new album. I realize, though, that they could put out maybe five or six songs on a CD. Then, keep on recording, with another five or six on another album later. Then, both are on the market. Who does this? No one that I can think of. But, when I go to the music stores, some artist have one, another two songs that are all sold in a 'singles release section'. So every single artist is together. And, one of my favorites is when they take one song, and remix it, at least one other way, and sell it. Now, there would be three CD's.
