You Light Up My Life [Warner Bros., 1977]Who cares if the single sells six million? It's only singles, y'know what I mean? Trendsetters don't buy singles. Smart people like you and me don't buy singles. But now I hear the _album_ has gone platinum, too. D-
I tried posting an Xgau review but the system thought it was spam lmao
>>130517848Proof that nepo babbies have always existed.
>>130517848the apple doesn't fall far from the tree as they say
>>130517848Kinda cray that singles culture died in the US, and then was only really revived in college rock/indie circles.
>>130518820The first year albums outsold singles in the US was 1968.
>>130517848when my dad was a teenager he said he thought Debby Boone was hot and he fantasized about marrying her, getting her to use drugs, and be a bad girl and she would love it
>>130518826Damn, I didn't know that. Is it the sheer size of the country that is the problem? It's easier for a Manchester band's single to reach a kid in Colchester than it is for a New York band's cut to travel all the way to Utah?
>>130518826the bad part is a lot of artists just couldn't come up with the material to fill albums out so you bought a $7 album that had two good songs and eight filler tracks
>>130517848The answer to all those sales? W*men.
>>130517848in all fairness Debbie was half-apologetic for the song and said it wasn't how she'd intended it to sound. long story there.
>>130517848This is the biggest 70s hit to be completely airbrushed from history and reduced to nothing but a Simpsons joke. Absolutely played to death for an entire year and then never heard from again.
>>130517848Did he really only write single paragraph reviews?
>>130519665He was writing for a print magazine with limited page space.
>>130518402my aunt used to work with one of the other Boone daughters and said she got the impression that they were a very weird, Duggar-like family
