Stevie At The Beach
''Stevie at the Beach'' is the fourth studio album by American singer-songwriter Stevie Wonder released on the Tamla (Motown) label on June 23, 1964. With the exception of the mild hit, "Hey Harmonica Man", it was a concept album of sorts, focusing on beach and surfer anthems as an attempt to get Wonder to now sing surf tunes. However, much like the label's attempts to first make him the teenage version of Ray Charles and then for one album as a lounge singer, it failed to connect with audiences. Wonder would not have another hit until 1965 when he was finally allowed to showcase his musical talents more. Track listing ;Side one #"Castles in the Sand" (Hal Davis, Marc Gordon, Mary O'Brien, Frank Wilson) - 2:11 #"Ebb Tide" (instrumental) (Robert Maxwell, Carl Sigman) - 1:45 #"Sad Boy" (Dorsey Burnette, Gerald Nelson) - 2:28 #" Red Sails in the Sunset" (instrumental) (Hugh Williams, Jimmy Kennedy) - 2:01 #"The Beachcomber" (instrumental) (Arthur Wright) - 1:46 #"Castles in the Sa ...

With A Song In My Heart (Stevie Wonder Album)
''With a Song In My Heart'' is Stevie Wonder's third studio album, released in 1963 on the Tamla (Motown) label. The album was the first to drop Wonder's ''Little'' nickname as the 13-year-old singer went the same route of his label mate Marvin Gaye and covered a set of standards. Like Gaye and other Motown acts, label president Berry Gordy wanted all of his artists to be established on a crossover basis. The album did not immediately spell success for Wonder on the adult contemporary set. Veteran jazz arranger Ernie Wilkins arranged and conducted the album. Track listing ;Side one #" With a Song in My Heart" (Lorenz Hart, Richard Rodgers) – 3:11 #" When You Wish Upon a Star" (Ned Washington, Leigh Harline) – 2:59 #"Smile" (Charlie Chaplin, Geoffrey Parsons, John Turner) – 3:20 #" Make Someone Happy" (Betty Comden, Adolph Green, Jule Styne) – 5:04 #"Dream" (Johnny Mercer) – 2:50 ;Side two #" Put on a Happy Face" (Charles Strouse, Lee Adams) – 2:37 #"On the Sunny Si ...

The 12 Year Old Genius
''The'' () is a grammatical article in English, denoting persons or things that are already or about to be mentioned, under discussion, implied or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners, readers, or speakers. It is the definite article in English. ''The'' is the most frequently used word in the English language; studies and analyses of texts have found it to account for seven percent of all printed English-language words. It is derived from gendered articles in Old English which combined in Middle English and now has a single form used with nouns of any gender. The word can be used with both singular and plural nouns, and with a noun that starts with any letter. This is different from many other languages, which have different forms of the definite article for different genders or numbers. Pronunciation In most dialects, "the" is pronounced as (with the voiced dental fricative followed by a schwa) when followed by a consonant sound, and as (homophone of the archaic pr ...

It is broadcast on BBC Radio 1 (top 5) and found on the OCC website as a Top 100 or on UKChartsPlus as a Top 200, with positions continuing until all sales have been tracked in data only available to industry insiders.

As of 2021, the OCC still only tracks how many UK Top 75s album hits and how many weeks in Top 75 albums chart each artist has achieved. To qualify for the Offi ...
