It is a sad day when I have to buy a download off itunes, but my duty is done …

Kerry, do I have to do anything about the image ban?

Nimmykins, thanks for the link, have joined, will buy another copy thru there.

Matt, I wondered if that had ever happened, thanks for researching it and letting us know.

Devangshu, nice to see you here. All is well. Apparently Unchained Melody holds the record for the maximum number of Top 10 versions. I think Yesterday holds the record for the maximum number of versions overall.

I also like the k d lang version. Quite amazing the number of covers there’s been in such a short while – though I guess Suzanne racked up similar numbers over the years?
How’s stuff going?

I like your thinking. Quite interestingly, the same song by different artists have shared the number No 1 spot. “Answer Me” by Frankie Laine and David Whitfield, back in 1953.

Hmm. ITMS link maker trying to be too clever – looks like images are barred in comments. Links in brackets should have been Jeff Buckley and Leonard Cohen.

:-) and I think it’s fair to Alexandra as well, since people who “support” her will try and compete with the retarded hippie generation and push her sales up :-)

Funny, I was thinking of hatching exactly the same scheme yesterday. I've just done my bit by buying both the Jeff Buckley () – no relation as far as I know – and Lenoard Cohen () versions.
