artist stats Cher breaks several UK longevity and age records with “DJ Play a Christmas Song”

[Fitzswiftie]

 

— Oldest living artist (aged 77) with top 40 hit with new material (beating Shirley Bassey, Aged 70, in 2007)

— Oldest living artist (aged 77) with top 20 hit with new material (beating Cliff Richard, Aged 68 in 2008) 

— First artist (solo and group) to score Top 20 and Top 40 hits with new material in seven consecutive decades

the statistics are strange.. is that top 40 missing "female" artist .. bc cliff had a top 40 hit in 2008 ..?

i love cher but they need to stop saying #1 on billboard and specify it's adult radio  

regardless, congrats! the song has actually grown on me and i like some of the other tracks, can't wait for the new album, she starts in february  

also, she looks phenomenal!

LEGEND  The fact that she has scored a top 40 hit in the UK for 7 consecutive decades is amazing.

 

The fact that the song is at #20 and the album is at #5  Releasing a christmas album was such a good move, I never thought it would do this well but she deserves it

He’s still living 

 

The 2008 track was “Thank You For a Lifetime” (#3 in October 08), which was specifically recorded that year to honor his 50th anniversary in music. His last to date.
