Deft, sophisticated and yet also strangely ominous, Riders On The Storm is unquestionably one of the best Doors songs of all time. The final track the band recorded with Jim Morrison, it closed out their sublime LA Woman album and also rose to No.14 on the US Billboard singles chart in the period immediately following Morrison’s death – becoming the singer’s suitably haunting swansong more by accident than design.
Perhaps the most famous bubblegum pop song of all-time, ‘Sugar, Sugar’ is famous for being a hit song for a fictitious band. “What group never appeared together, never went on the road together, never interviewed together, as the group, and had a #1 song?” That would, of course, be The Archies, the fictitious rock band from The Archie Show. The concept of the Archies was conceived by Don Kirshner, a music manager who had gained a great deal of fame from being the guy that was brought in by the producers of The Monkees to manage the band itself.
The Weeknd‘s ‘Blinding Lights’ reached its 100th week on the UK’s biggest chart show. The song first entered the chart at the end of 2019 then spent the start of 2020 as The Official Big Top 40 Number 1.
‘Blinding Lights’ re-entered the chart during 2021 and for the very-first chart of 2022, its fourth year running in the Top 40. It extends its record as the song with the most weeks in the chart ever, blowing its nearest the competition out of the water. ‘Blinding Lights’ has seen similar success in the US. The song holds the record too for the most weeks ever in the chart. Undoubtedly, ‘Blinding Lights’ has become The Weeknd‘s most-successful song of his career so far.

Phil wrote the song during the grief he felt after divorcing his first wife Andrea Bertorelli in 1980. The divorce contributed to his 1979 hiatus from Genesis, until the band regrouped in October of that year to record the album Duke. The song reached number two in the UK, and has sold over 3 million copies in the States. It also reached the top 10 in at least 13 other countries, and has arguably become his signature song.

So, he enlisted drummer Mark Pontius and friend/bassist Cubbie Fink to help him bring his songs to life.
