Tina Turner returns to the charts
Eight songs from singer Tina Turner’s catalogue have debuted on multiple Billboard charts.
Turner, who passed away on May 24 after a long illness, was last seen on the charts in 2020 when a remix of her classic What’s Love Got to Do With It, featuring Kygo, entered several charts in Europe.
On the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales chart, What’s Love Got to Do With It débuts at #3, while We Don’t Need Another Hero (Thunderdome) is #4.
Proud Mary (#5), Better Be Good to Me (#6), Private Dancer (#7), I Don’t Wanna Lose You (#12), Let’s Stay Together (#16) and River Deep Mountain High credited to Ike and Tina Turner enter at #17.
On the R&B Digital Song Sales chart, What’s Love Got to Do with It (a #1 hit in 1984 on the Billboard Hot 100) débuts at #1. The other entries are We Don’t Need Another Hero (#2), Proud Mary (#3), Better Be Good to Me (#4), Private Dancer (#5), I Don’t Wanna Lose You (#7), Let’s Stay Together (#9), and River Deep Mountain High (#10).
On Digital Song Sales, The Best débuts at #7, with What’s Love Got to Do With It (#8), We Don’t Need Another Hero (#15), Proud Mary (#17), Better Be Good to Me (#23), and Private Dancer at #26.
