Well, it wasn't a stage show recording but Madonna's "Don't Cry for me Argentina" bowed at #6 on the Billboard Pop Charts.

Also, I think Elton John's "Electricity" did well in the UK charts.

Did Electricity do well in the UK charts? I certainly never heard it in a club, but maybe I'm just sheltered. I sincerely hope it didn't do well, I think it's a horrible song.

Songs released as singles from muscials fare much better in the UK where they seem to always crack the Top 10 when a musical opens. I think Bombay Dreams had many British Pop hits.

That strangely appealing techno dance version of "Easy As Life" by Deborah Cox did pretty well on the dance charts a couple of years ago. I highly doubt it ever made it anywhere near the top 40 though.

someone else (another girl) covered "rich man" about 2 months before gwens came out. imo, it was much better than hers, but i have no idea who sang it

wasn't adam garcia's Night Fever released as a single?

What about 'Dance With Me' by Debelah Morgan which sampled HERNANDO'S HIDEAWAY?

I don't know if it hit Top 40, but Boyzone had "No Matter What" from Whistle Down The Wind
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

I think the Stefani song "Rich Girl" did very well on the charts. I also remember that the "video" for "All That Jazz" from "Chicago" did very well on VH-1 when the film was released.

Yeh, I think Boyzone's No Matter What was no.1, but I may be wrong.

Also, Big Brova's did a vesion of "My Favourite Things" which got high in UK charts.

Bombay Dreams had one chart hit in Shaka-Laka Baby, but most people hated it in the UK. And basically took the mickey a bit.

"Did One Night In Bangcock make the top 40?"

One Night in Bangkok hit Number 3 on the Billboard pop charts in 1985.

Jay-Z's "Hard Knock Life" hit #1.

Gwen Stefani's "If I Were a Rich Man" peaked at #3 on the pop charts as well.
