I always thought my records were number one; it's just the charts didn't think so.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Chart numbers can be deceiving. An album doesn't have to sell that much these days to show up really high on the charts.
The mindset of chasing that next #1 record doesn't exist for me anymore. It's more about being a well-rounded entertainer than being a pop artist. Obviously, it would be wonderful to have a hit record but I don't base my happiness on that anymore. It's about the accomplishment of a project that satisfies me. I just want to enjoy the ride.
A No. 1 record is hard to come by.
When I put out a record or single I don't allow myself to set up expectations like, 'This song must be a number one hit. Its got to sell X amount of records.'
When I think people like one record more than the other, then someone will surprise me.
To be honest, I don't want No. 1's anymore. Now, don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind the odd few, but I'd also like a record going in at eight and staying around.
I'm delighted to be Number 1, but next week I don't want people to buy my record, I want them to buy Band Aid.
I don't think about records.
I'm bad with numbers. My husband is the keeper of the records.
I don't think the label cares about an album... People just want their number-one record.
