Cher scores number 1 single in each of the last 6 decades
Propelled by Sunday’s Golden Globe win for best original song, Cher‘s Burlesque contribution ‘You Haven’t Seen The Last of Me‘ is set to top the American Dance/Club Play chart released by Billboard. It might just be a dance chart, but this feat will make Cher the only act to have had a number 1 Billboard single in each of the last six decades.
When told about the achievement, she told Billboard:
“How can it be six decades when I’m only four decades?”
Fierce.
Written by power ballad queen Diane Warren, ‘You Haven’t Seen The Last Of Me’ has been remixed by the likes of Dave Aude, StoneBridge, Edson Pride and Almighty (listen to the latter below).
