As the title says does it hold the record?

It has been in the top ten in 1991, 1997 and 2005 by Candi Staton feat. The Source and now again in 2010 with Florence and the Machine (not a patch on the Candi Staton versions though!)

I'm not sure about the chart statistics of this track, but I just have to say that as a huge fan of the original, and being usually extremely critical of cover versions, I actually love Florence's. I was pleasantly surprised. One of the best covers ever, in my opinion.

I would have thought it would be My Way.

Unchained melody has reached the top ten 6 times 4 of those it got to number 1. Interestingly the Righteous brothers (who I believe is the most famous version) did not make the top ten when it was released in the sixties tehy had to wait til it was in Ghost to get a number 1.

It's a good cover but It's getting a little overated now. I would haver Rabbit Heart as her best song which personally should have made top 5.

I think her cover is really solid and does stand up to the original (though isn't necessarily better by any means) - though one or two of her TV performances of it have been lacking (namely on the NY TOTP), at her best she's been amazing performing it. While it is one of the weakest tracks on Lungs imo, I can see why it was released as a single ahead of Howl/Cosmic Love.

i like florence and the machine's cover but she cannot sing it live at all.

I assumed it'd be Unchained Melody.
Really like this version of You've Got The Love, I hate the original so good work Florence!

I think Florence's version is one of the best cover versions i've ever heard but the original is excellent.

Is it being used in adverts for the new season of Greys Anatomy atm? correct me if im wrong!

at least she doesn't sample Your Love like the Staton version did, that really annoyed me about that version
