Come back to what you know! Here we will take a look at five different songs that shared the title of Come Back. All were hits in the UK.
The Mighty Wah were once called just Wah. Their first two singles in the UK reached number 3 and number 37 respectively. This song was their third release (and final) it reached number 20 in the UK charts in 1984.
Spear Of Destiny released quite a few singles in the UK without really bothering the higher reaches of the char. Their highest placing was number 14 with Never Take Me Alive; most of the rest failed to break into the top 40. This one only reached number 55 in 1985.
Vandross has had quite a few big hits in the UK but this one wasn’t one of them. Released in 1989 it only reached number 53 in the UK charts.
Londonbeat omprised member from the UK, the US and Tirinidad & Tobago. There biggest hit was the number 2 I’ve Been Thinking About You, in 1990. This song was released in 1995 and only managed to reach number 69 in the UK charts.
This song was the UK’s submission to the Eurovision Song Contest in 2002, it didn’t fare well. It did do quite well in the UK charts though, reaching number 13. This was Jessica Garlik’s only chart hit.

It is really amazing at just how many songs actually have the same title. Glad you are doing this because someone needs to. I’ve taken to naming most of the pieces I write some long name that if copied would be apparent straight off. Maybe you or someone should do some of songs with the same chord progressions…. There are many of those too.

I love reading anything on music. It’s as much as a weakness for me as it is empowering through lyrics. Nice article topics.
