UK Number 40s: Cliff Richard & The Shadows - Singing The Blues (2009)

 


Cliff Richard became the fourth artists to have 2 number 40s with this record after Queensryche, Saint Etienne and Primal Scream. He was also the first to have 2 number 40s plus number 1 hits.

He was considered old hat by the 60s but the hits kept coming for him. This was where his run of Top 40 hits finally came to an end with this being number 124.

UK Number 40s: Cliff Richard with Helen Hobson - The Wedding (1996)

 


One memory I have of listening to the Top 40 in the 90s was Mark Goodier having to assure the listeners that they're listening to Radio 1 after playing Cliff Richard in the Top 40 countdown. This was probably one of those records.

It comes from the musical "Heathcliff" which Cliff Richard appeared in himself as well as Helen Hobson.

It was Top 40 hit number 111 from Cliff Richard and his 16th of the 90s. He'd have just 2 further Top 40 hit in the 90s including his final chart topper to date "The Millennium Prayer" and had a handful of further hits in the 21st century including another number 40.
