ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR SONGS IN TERMS OF DOWNLOAD...

Are you as surprised as me??

One of the things my file host does is let me know how many times a particular track has been downloaded. This got in excess of 500 downloads when it was first loaded in November 2009:-

mp3 : The Maisonettes - Heartbreak Avenue

A #7 hit single in December 1982 and a memorable bit of pop music.

Thought I'd dig out some footage this time:-



Rol from the always entertaining Sunset Over Slawit left a comment behind last time out advising that the singer had been part of an earlier band that had enjoyed this hit single:-



I do now remember this now that I've played it again.

A #8 hit in 1978. Hated it then. Hasn't grown a bit on me since.

Oh and here's the b-side of The Maisonettes number:-

mp3 : The Maisonettes - The Last One To Know

Happy Listening.

Incredible - I've had similar randomness. My two heaviest have been Brenda Lee's Walk a Mile in My Shoes - almost 10,000 downloads to date. And this podcast which hit 4000 in less than 3 weeks of posting up.

Great post. Only 4 yrs between the 2 songs here. Seemed much longer.

Have a good weekend folks.

My apologies for making you endure 5705 again. (And further apologies for liking it. ;-)

I have that Maisonettes 7". Great track. I believe everything else they did was pants.
