"Time to say goodbye" - Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli

Germany's biggest selling single ever.

Narrowly lost at the 1995 San Remo festival, which means in another universe *this* won the Eurovision Song Contest.

I recall that Bocelli was the subject of a hagiography-slash-concert on Classic FM over the festive period. Anything to shift a few "units".

You can't keep a good song down: this is Germany's biggest-selling single *ever*, and got a brill disco cover by Donna Summer.

"Time to say goodbye" is about chapters of your life ending. Perhaps appropriate for departing producer Mark Wells who has remixed #TOTP in his three months - it's become a mainstream show, more interested in the enduring hits than this week's fad.

"Time to say goodbye" - Sarah Brightman & Andrea Bocelli

There is no Eurovision stuff in this edition. However, "Con te partirò" almost counts - Andrea Bocelli originally entered it to the 1995 San Remo festival, which would have found RAI's entry if Italy had bothered to compete.

Loosely translated into English in 1996, when it also gained the bolero rhythm. (ctd)
