2010’s
2010 – Just The Way You Are (Amazing) by Bruno Mars began the first of 2 one-week spells at the top of the UK Singles Chart. The song was the debut solo single by American singer-songwriter.
1960’s
1969 – The Beatles 8th album Abbey Road was released on Apple Records. The album was the last to be recorded by all four members of the band, as although Let It Be would be their last album, much of the material was recorded prior to the Abbey Road sessions.
1961 – John Leyton’s Johnny Remember Me began a one-week spell at the top of the UK Singles Chart. The song was banned by the BBC due to the morbid content within the song.

The 1966 Simon & Garfunkel album Parsley, Sage, Rosemary & Thyme was deemed the duo’s first masterpiece.

Kyle Craft’s debut Dolls of Highland, released in April 2016, is one of my top albums of the year. His voice, a blend of Bob Dylan and Brett Anderson of Suede rips through the speakers like a wailing banshee. It was recorded in his friend’s laundry room, epic stuff! |
