Released 35 Year Ago, Today
The Glass Tiger debut release that resulted in Canadian chart-topper and international hit “Don’t Forget Me (When I’m Gone)” was released today, 35 years ago.
It remained in the Canadian album charts for 37 weeks, peaking at the 4th position, reaching Quadruple Platinum status in Canada (400,000 physical copies sold) by May 13th, 1987.
“Don’t Forget Me (When I’m Gone)” has also been certified Platinum in Canada with 80,000 Physical Units sold by July 23, 1986 whilst the second best selling single from that album, “Someday”, had been certified Gold on February 1, 1987, remaining in the charts for 19 weeks and topping at the 11th slot.
A special 180 gram stripped vinyl version of this album is available from Amazon.ca, Amazon.com and Amazon U.K.
Google Play Music Update
Google Play Music will be replaced by Youtube Music in August 2020 so if you have an account on Google Play Music, you should transfer your account as soon as possible using this link or by using the Youtube Music app.
Access to the Music Manager and Music store on Google Play will cease that month and access to Google Play Music itself will cease by December 2020.
The Youtube Music app is available from Google Play and the Apple App Store.
