Has enough time passed for me to confess that I really hate 'Proud Mary'?

Can't stand it.

It’s not my favourite but the intro to this performance makes me laugh every time.



”This next song, some of you MIGHT be familiar with it…

Her name… is… MERRAGH!”

 

[Marina Salty]

It must have been very hard for her as a mom to outlive both of the children she gave birth to.
One by suicide in '18 and one by cancer just 5 months ago. How sad.

I was randomly singing a bit of a song by her (much less powerfully) yesterday evening, but didn't learn of her passing until this morning
Also reading the tribute Tweets - here's Beverley Knight's thread:

May Tina Turner rest in peace and power 🕊

 

[K.C.]

I dedicated the first 10 minutes of class time to TINA EDUCATION today and one kid got up and did the dance from Proud Mary

I assumed it was people looking for Simply the best, then giving up

 

[Tisch]

Track 1 on the Simply the Best compilation is "The Best - Edit", don't know if that's something?

What compilation is the one that's taken? Simply the Best or Tina! do we reckon? I suppose latter is easier to find.

 

[VoR]

The Best is also at #7

 

[VoR]

I Don’t Wanna Lose you is a bit of a stealth general public favourite, isn’t it?

 

[ILL ADVISED]

The Best is also at #7

Oh. I must have missed it when I scanned through. Well that makes more sense then

 

[VV]

I've got 'We don't need another hero' on at the moment. It really puts the POWER into POWER BALLAD.

I did have a feeling what’s love was going to be bigger than the others for some reason. Looks like it will be close between them.

Cosas de la vida by that Eros guy is also in at #159, which just goes to show the power of it being in her overall Spotify top 5 songs, because surely nobody in the UK beyond @Sheena , @lolly and the Italian expat community knows or is actively seeking out that song...

And we would play the original anyway, RIGHT @lolly ?

FOR ADDED EROS

 

[lolly]

Why on earth would you use Spotify to listen, when you can have YouTube to watch?

I know it's so obvious, but The Best has really ticked a lot of boxes in the wake of her death.

Shocked that I’ve not seen this posted yet

I can't help it but The Best will never be up there for me, it reminds me of a hen party brunch.

There's a thin between a hen night and a gay soiree.

Two albums by Tina Turner are tracking for the Official Albums Chart Top 10 this week, as UK music fans pay tribute to the legend, who died last week aged 83.

Anointed the Queen of Rock and Roll, Tina’s greatest hits compilation The Platinum Collection is her biggest climber so far this week, looking to enter the Top 10 for the first time at Number 8, having peaked at Number 14 in 2009. It could be joined at Number 10 by her former chart-topping 1989 LP Foreign Affair, known for its biggest single, The Best.

But that’s not all, as two more records by the pop icon could also make it into the wider Top 40 this week. 1994 compilation The Collected Recordings is predicted to enter the chart for the first time ever at Number 12, while Tina’s iconic 1984 career comeback vehicle Private Dancer could bow at Number 31, having peaked at Number 2 upon its original release.

Interesting that Foreign Affair is doing so much better than Private Dancer. How many tracks need to be streamed in one session for it to count as an album sale?

It used to be 6 - not sure if it still is.

That is interesting that the difference is so marked, even if it is relative in terms of actual number of sales. I'll bet there is some streaming related reason/riggery for it.
