The Iconic Tune by The Kinks Breaks into the Top 10 Chart's Elite, Half a Century After Initial Debut
The Kinks disbanded nearly three decades ago, yet they had been active for numerous decades prior to that. Many of their iconic hits were released in the '60s and '70s, even though they continued to collaborate as a unit, their popularity waned. Nevertheless, the tracks that made them a staple in households still hold a special place in hearts today.
One of the Kinks' earliest hits is experiencing a resurgence in popularity in the UK this week. "All Day and All Of The Night", released six decades ago, has achieved unprecedented chart positions, surpassing levels it never reached before in the country. In fact, it even secures the defunct band new top 10s on all but one of the charts.
"All Day and All Of The Night" makes its debut highest on the Official Vinyl Singles chart, becoming one of the top-selling vinyl tracks in the UK after its re-release. It enters this list at No. 4, marking the third-highest debut. The Kinks follow behind Ariana Grande ("Santa Tell Me", No. 2) and East 17 ("Stay Another Day", No. 3), with Wham reclaiming the top spot.
The rockers also manage to break into the top 10 on the Official Physical Singles list, debuting at No. 9. Here, they are trumped by new arrivals from stars like Beardman, Reverend & the Makers, and TV presenter Gok Wan, as well as Grande.
"All Day and All Of The Night" secures the Kinks their second-ever top 10 hit on the list of the bestselling songs on any physical medium throughout the UK. Only "You Really Got Me", which reached that region at No. 3, had achieved this feat before this week.
Over on the Official Vinyl Singles chart, the Kinks secure a third track to reach the top tier as "All Day and All Of The Night" debuts. Besides "You Really Got Me" climbing to No. 2 (this happened earlier this year), they've also entered the highest reaches of the chart with "Louie Louie", which soared to No. 10.
"All Day and All Of The Night" also debuts on the main purchase-centric singles chart for songs, the Official Singles Sales chart. On this chart, the Kinks debut their timeless track at No. 36, securing another top 40 placement.
The Kinks are commemorating 60 years in music with various special releases, and they've been celebrating the milestone for some time now. The band re-released "All Day and All Of The Night" on vinyl, which was shipped in mid-December, and it is this anniversary edition that has re-entered the charts in the UK this week.
The resurgence of "All Day and All Of The Night" can be attributed to the Kinks' 60-year anniversary celebrations, with a re-release of the vinyl version. This anniversary edition has been a significant contributor to the track's chart success in the UK.
The re-release of "All Day and All Of The Night" on vinyl has not only boosted its popularity but also its sales in the UK, leading to its impressive performance on the Official Vinyl Singles chart.
The popularity of "All Day and All Of The Night" has also extended to the Official Physical Singles chart in the UK, where the Kinks debut at a respectable position.
The success of "All Day and All Of The Night" on the Official Singles Sales chart in the UK further solidifies its comeback story, securing the band another top 40 placement.
The re-release of "All Day and All Of The Night" on vinyl has not only revitalized its popularity but has also led to the Kinks securing multiple top 10 hits on various charts in the UK, including the Official Vinyl Singles chart and the list of the bestselling songs on any physical medium throughout the UK.
