January (song)
"January" is a pop rock song recorded by Scottish rock band Pilot. Written by David Paton and produced by Alan Parsons, "January" was the sole number-one single in the UK for Pilot, coincidentally going to the top of the charts on 26 January 1975. It stayed at number one for three weeks. In a video interview on Radio Borders, David Paton explained that the song was not about the month, but about a girl named January, the name being taken from a female protagonist in a book that his wife was reading at the time. The verse is unrelated to the chorus and talks about the success of "Magic" and how it had opened up the world for him. It also charted in the United States, making a minor impression on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, in early 1976. It also went to number one in Australia, where it stayed for eight weeks. During the month of January 2016, the song was a feature of adverts for ASDA stores within the UK. Chart performance Weekly charts Year-end charts Cover versions ...
