FLASHBACK: YOU LIGHT UP MY LIFE BY DEBBY BOONE

Why this song? Why now? Well, turns out that Ke$ha is #1 for the 8th week in a row on the Billboard Hot 100 with Tik Tok(stay with me on this one). That makes her the RUNNER-UP for the longest stay at number one for a debut single by a female artist. What is the longest you ask? You Light Up My Life spent 10 big ones at the top spot in 1977, making it the record holder in that category as it was Debby Boone's (daughter of Pat Boone) first single to chart. Could it be any MORE different than Tik Tok? I don't think so. Debby was a bible-beating girl who claims the song was not about a love she missed but about God. Okay. If she says so. Anyway, here is the huge hit from 1977 by Debby Boone. Aren't these songs begging for a mashup? [source]
