It seemed like the Belinda record label would release mostly mid tempo songs (never the fastest upbeat songs or love ballads) here in the US.

"I Plead Insanity" from her fourth biggest album would've been a great dance floor number for mainstream radio at the time.

Her first two singles off the album (released here in the US) weren't my favorite tracks on the album & went nowhere for her.

And finally, "Where Love Hides" off of her fifth album would've been a great love ballad to release in the fall of 1993 for radio play (a direct opposite of "I Plead Insanity")..

The music is subdued & allows her vocals to shine. The song will probably be considered one of her "timeless classics".

I think a lot of people overestimate how popular some albums are. I love Tori Amos, but Choirgirl isn't exactly super popular. However, Scarlet's Walk was wildly popular with her first real hit via "Sorta Fairytale". This song is the best on the album.

Oh, my God, THANK you, r156! I want to block them, but for some reason, the WW/block icons aren't showing up for me.

But anyway, Fleetwood Mac's "Straight Back" is a great song and probably should've been a single, but the recording could've been much better and rocked a little harder. I'm guessing it's one of those situations with Lindsey being a spiteful asshole and half-assing the production of Stevie's song. Imagine if Jimmy Iovine had produced it.

Kylie Minogue (her management) should have released Made In Heaven as the follow up to The Locomotion at least in the US, instead of I Should Be So Lucky. It had a more polished sound and was danceable. It likely would have given her a second US hit after her insanely popular first single.

"You Rat, You."

An incidental song from "The Night They Raided Minsky's." The song and the performance were both terrific, but did not figure prominently in the film and were largely forgotten.

Just a few years later, the composer, Charles Strouse, recycled the song. It got new lyrics and was turned into a ballad in 3/4 time for his musical ANNIE.

R343 Now you are just spouting some nonsense. Destination Unknown is considered a classic and was on the hot 100 for 13 weeks. Hardly a track that went nowhere. Go to any dance club with an 80s night and Destination Unknown is one of the go-to songs. Here and Now is a good track, but I don't think it's something that would have taken well with a larger audience.

by Anonymousreply 348January 4, 2020 7:18 PM

R348 I get my facts from Wiki not from a 80s night playlist from a club that might not be around in a year. Plenty of songs have stayed on the US Hot 100 but aren't considered hits. "DU" wasn't a #1, top 10 or even a top 20 hit for the group (that I'm a big fan of to this day). It's not much of a hit but as you described it: "a classic".

95% of the US know George Michael for "Faith" & Cyndi for "Girls Just Wanna..." but 99% of the US doesn't know Missing Persons for "DU" & that's the bottom line. Probably 90% of the country isn't even aware of the group now that they have faded further into obscurity. I didn't know for instance that lead singer Dale had a solo album out in '88 after the band broke up (with Prince's help no less).
