An absolute classic AOR track I was looking at the itunes chart it's sitting in the top 10 there too as I was going to start a thread but noticed this one. here's the video from You Tube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0H3bJHWGl4 be good to see this in the charts this Sunday the X-Factor at least gave the charts one decent song for this week then.

Superstition - Stevie Wonder See? X-Factor isn't all bad. Just checked my DJ's bible (Guinness Hit Singles & Albums) and the Journey single when originally released in the UK only reached No62. Seemed a much bigger hit than that it was never off the radio back then and is still played on the radio now and again these days. Looks like it will be a bigger hit second time around.

Don't really care about the X Factor, I've wanted this song to thump that show this Christmas for ages so I'm a bit miffed about the who Rage thing... Anyway, I've just made my contribution to the Journey song!

It's still a second rate TV show compared to the offerings on TV at weekends in the past. That's always been a popular song anyway as a DJ I get asked for it loads in all sorts of venues.

Every time I hear this song I'm reminded of the last episode of The Sopranos.

I agree. Basically I think had Joe not sung this nobody would even be talking about it.

Didn't deny it influenced by that but it is still a 2nd rate TV show compared to what was on offer in the past by BBC or ITV that was what I said. Go to some of the DJ Only collections by Music Factory Mastermix or DMC the track is on a few of them and available in various mixes as well.

Just pointing out it's been a popular track on those compilations plus quite a few others which have been in the compilations in recent years. Probably if it had been reissued with a greatest hits album it could have done okay on it's own without the X-Factor's help.
but people who have only ever heard the song when joe has sung it on x factor have to be taken into consideration too. |

i'm aware of its popularity outside of the x factor realm - as i said, for a scarcely publicised anti-x factor campaign song last year, it did well to chart at all. it's also the last song played every saturday night at our local nightspot, i don't actually know anyone who doesn't love it.
but people who have only ever heard the song when joe has sung it on x factor have to be taken into consideration too. Quote:
it may be a popular track but if joe had not sung it it would not be doing as well in the download charts
