"Stars on 45"
(1981)

"More Stars"
(1981)

"Stars on 45" is a song medley issued in January 1981 past Dutch studio group Stars on 45. In some countries, including the UK, Ireland and New Zealand, the band was credited as 'Starsound' and only the medley itself was named "Stars on 45".

Its official title in the US and Canada (as on the tape and in Billboard and RPM) is "Medley: Intro 'Venus' / Saccharide Sugar / No Respond / I'll Be Back / Drive My Car / Practice You Want to Know a Hush-hush / We Can Work It Out / I Should Have Known Better / Nowhere Man / You're Going to Lose That Girl / Stars on 45" and was credited to 'Stars on 45'. Information technology is (to date) the longest titled song to ever nautical chart in Billboard and was conveniently shortened to "Stars on 45 Medley", or "'Medley' by Stars on 45". The length of the name surpassed the previous record set by Ray Stevens' "Jeremiah Peabody's Polyunsaturated Quick-Dissolving Fast-Acting Pleasant-Tasting Dark-green and Majestic Pills"; and (amongst songs that reached number one) "(Hey Won't Y'all Play) Another Somebody Done Somebody Incorrect Song" by B. J. Thomas. The reason for the long title was copyright requirements for the apply of The Beatles' songs.

Information technology reached number ane in holland on Feb 21, 1981; number two in the Great britain in April 1981; and number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 on June 20, 1981. In the US, the single too peaked at number 18 on the dance chart.^[1] In the US, the song's one-calendar week stay at the top of the Hot 100 interrupted the Kim Carnes single "Bette Davis Optics" run as the number 1 single at five weeks. The side by side calendar week, Carnes' vocal regained its number 1 condition for an additional 4 weeks.

The origin of the single was holland where numerous bootleg disco singles were floating around. Willem van Kooten, the owner of ane of the copyrights, decided to brand a similar, legitimate record of a 12" single titled "Let's Do It in the 80s Great Hits" credited to a Canadian group called Passion (though the snippets of songs were taken from the original recordings).^[2] He found singers who sounded similar to John Lennon and Paul McCartney and decided to make the single focus on The Beatles. The Beatles medley was later extended to a full sixteen-minute album side. It appeared on the Stars on 45's first full-length release, Long Play Album (US title: Stars on Long Play; UK title: Stars on 45 - The Album).

The album version of the vocal moved "Venus" and "Sugar Sugar" to Side Two into a dissimilar medley, and added several more Beatles songs every bit well as a 32-second instrumental extract from George Harrison's "My Sweet Lord" and even a fleeting reference to new wave ring Sparks' "Beat the Clock", for a full length of nigh 15 minutes. The album version was released as Long Play Album in kingdom of the netherlands, and retitled Stars on Long Play in the Usa and Stars on 45 — The Anthology in the Britain. A detailed listing of the source material tin be constitute in the Long Play Album article.

The vocal as well became a huge success in the Uk where information technology kicked off a craze for medleys, with a large number of records in the Stars on 45 mould reaching the U.k. Top 40 in 1981. For example, The Hollies recorded "Holliedaze", a medley of some of their previous hits, which reached 28 on the UK charts with Graham Nash and Eric Haydock briefly rejoining the grouping in September 1981 to promote the record. Likewise, in the United states of america the song started a medley craze that lasted for about a year and introduced not only other medleys past Stars on 45, but medleys past the Beatles themselves, The Beach Boys, the Imperial Combo Orchestra, Larry Elgart and His Manhattan Swing Orchestra, also as others.
