Power, Ed (25 March 2017). " 'This is the worst Comic Relief I've ever seen': The dire moments from BBC's Red Nose Day 2017". The Telegraph. It was the second biggest-selling single of 1983 in the UK, and was the 19th biggest-selling single of the 1980s, selling 975,000 copies. It had sold over 1.06 million copies by 2017. Schumer: That's probably the worst Billy Joel song. I'm pretty sure even Billy Joel hates that song.

Dream – He Luvs U Not: WONDERFUL and criminally underrated blast of spiky girl-pop. Did better in America, but they never really took off. The GRL of 2001 perhaps? (Minus the tragedy). A special version of the ‘Who Do You Think You Are’ video was shot especially for Comic Relief, guest starring The Sugar Lumps, a satirical version of the Spice Girls made up of Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders, Lulu, Kathy Burke and Llewella Gideon.

They had a couple of bigger hits than this to come, although it was always very much Eminem + others. Tomlin, Edward (March 20, 2023). "10 Best Billy Joel Songs of All Time - Singersroom.com" . Retrieved May 20, 2023.On Radio 1, Simon Mayo set the record of 37 hours of consecutive broadcasting (which was later broken in March 2011 by Chris Moyles on the same station for 52 hours, " BBC Radio 1's Longest Show Ever with Chris Moyles and Comedy Dave for Comic Relief", the world record for the longest show in radio history). The 1999 Comic Relief song was "When the Going Gets Tough" by Boyzone. Some of 2022's fundraising challenges that took place prior to the main televised event included a 100-mile river challenge, which saw BBC Radio 1 presenter Jordan North rowing from London to Burnley, [33] [34] and Tom Daley's Homecoming Challenge [35] which involved rowing, swimming, cycling and running. [36] Footage of the latter challenge, which took place between the Aquatics Centre in London and Plymouth, was featured in a BBC One documentary called Tom Daley's Hell of a Homecoming which was broadcast on 14 March 2022.

As well as having the biggest selling Comic Relief , Peter Kay has also appeared on the most Comic Relief singles; once as himself (Is This The Way To Amarillo?), and twice as his alter egos Brian Potter (from Phoenix Nights) on The Proclaimers' 2007 rendition of I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles), and Geraldine McQueen (she of Britain's Got the Pop Factor... and Possibly a New Celebrity Jesus Christ Soapstar Superstar Strictly on Ice fame) on Susan Boyle’s I Knew Him So Well. Comic Relief was launched live on Noel Edmonds' Late, Late Breakfast Show on BBC1, on Christmas Day 1985 from a refugee camp in Sudan. The idea for Comic Relief came from the charity worker Jane Tewson, who established it as the operating name of Charity Projects, a registered charity in England [8] and Scotland. [9]On record, Westlife’s take cuts out a lot of Joel’s emotional nuance – the delicious tension between brag and daydream, the way Joel is fronting for the lads, but also thinking, what if…? In Westlife’s version, the boys are the lads, and the song is staged as a round, with different members stepping up for a verse. “Uptown Girl” becomes more of a romp – no butchery, as it always had rompish elements – and to seal that impression it’s all iced and cherried with a patented Westlife key change. This jolly atmosphere matches its video, though the emphasis on poor virtue’s triumph over rich vice has the sad side-effect of treating Claudia Schiffer as a prize. But it’s not like that wasn’t part of the original’s appeal. Bronze goes to one of the biggest girlbands of the century so far – yep, it's the Aloud. Fresh from winning Popstars: The Rivals, Girls Aloud unleashed their debut single Sound of the Underground in December 2002 and a pop colossus was born. Over 671,000 copies have been sold, and the song topped the charts for four weeks, bagging that year's Official Christmas Number 1. It would be the first of a whopping 21 Top 10s for Girls Aloud.
