So I asked my son (19)and he didn’t have a clue, but when I played it he knew it. I called my daughter (23) and she knew both name and artist so I TAKE IT BACK.

love this commitment to field research :D :disco:
 
Yeah it’s crazy how well Torn has managed to stay relevant all these years. My daughter and her friends loved it as well. I wonder if Natalie makes good money from it or not since it’s a cover song.
 
I think Devil hit the nail on the head with the age thing

I think we all expect Together Again to hold sway today because of how prominent and INESCAPABLE it was on the radio 30 years ago. But it's never kept pace with some of its contemporaries. I'm sure Heart FM still give it a whirl once in a whole, but that's surely it?

But by that token we should also be wondering why THE YOOF don't recognise Tin Tin Out feat. Shelley Nelson or the Lighthouse Family today.
 
I must be alone in still hearing Together Again all over the place… and not because I press play 🫠 🙃
 
Well, it matters not, now the kids know 'Someone to Call My Lover' :disco: (or whichever thirty seconds of it are being used in Tik Tok videos).
 
Be interesting to see if this charts in the UK today. Having spend over half the week in the actual Spotify chart should see it doing so if it has been reset (which it should have been) to SCR. Not sure if her label needs to apply for this or anything though, so if it is still on ACR that will stop it. Would totally be here for this I’m the actual chart in 2025.
 
This is really quite pleasing because I've always been of the view this is Janet's best song.

So BRIGHT and BREEZY with an easy TIMBRE

I definitely prefer FUN HAPPY Janet to MUMBLE Janet. "Runaway" revival next please!
 
I’m still a bit thrown that this is the one, of all Janet’s tracks. It’s like if Madonna had a massive revival based around Love Profusion :D

Why not All For You?

I don’t think Love Profusion is a fair comparison because it was always a flop here. It would be like Don’t Tell Me taking off. Aged rather well and a hit at the time but a discovery to most.
 
It’s incredibly random either way, but I’m totally here for it. It’s always been a great little track, and it’s nice to see not one of the obvious ones - they do relatively fine on their own.
 
When does the newest trendy remix by a fairly/realtively unknown DJ make its way onto streaming? Nelly Furtado having one with Adana Twins (of all people they could get) blew my wig off. I hope WhoMadewho or Keinemusik for JANFT!
 
Didn’t rechart which is a shame. I would’ve thought it would if it had been reset, but perhaps it isn’t. It’s starting to stall the last couple of days so if that is the case it can hopefully get reset now.
