Tracy Chapman speaks out about Luke Combs’ ‘Fast Car’ cover: ‘I’m happy’
Luke Combs has taken the wheel of “Fast Car,” and songwriter Tracy Chapman is loving the ride. After catapulting Chapman to stardom back in 1988, earning her an award for Best Pop Vocal at the 31st annual Grammy Awards in 1989, the mellow folk rock tune about a young girl’s desire to escape from poverty has floored its way back into the spotlight courtesy of country star Combs, barreling all the way to the No. 1 slot on this week’s Billboard’s Country Airplay chart.The out-of-nowhere honor comes after the “When It Rains It Pours” singer covered the timeworn tune on his fourth studio album, “Gettin’ Old.” Combs’ twangy version also makes Chapman the first Black woman as the sole writer to top the Country Airplay chart since its debut in 1990.“I never expected to find myself on the country charts, but I’m honored to be there,” Chapman told Billboard in a written statement.

Stephen Fry couldn’t answer this ’80s music question on ‘Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?’
Sir Stephen Fry took part in a celebrity edition of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? over the weekend and was stumped on a question about a pop song.The former QI host took away £250,000 for mental health charity Mind on Sunday (January 26).Reaching the £500,000 question, however, host Jeremy Clarkson asked the following: “Which of these cover songs entered the UK Top 40 the longest time after the original version first charted?”The options to choose from were ‘Tragedy’ by Steps, ‘Fast Car’ by Jonas Blue & Dakota, ‘Uptown Girl’ by Westlife, or ‘Killing Me Softly’ by The Fugees. The question left Fry stumped.He said to the host: “Well Jeremy this is not my subject I’m afraid, but I’ve got one friend who might know these things, he’s pretty good on pop music I think and that’s Richard Osman, so we might as well give him a tinkle”.He called Osman, known for his knowledge of obscure facts as a presenter of the Pointless quiz show, using his Phone A Friend lifeline.

Tracy Chapman makes country music history
Tracy Chapman has made country music history at this year’s instalment of the Country Music Association Awards.The milestone comes as her 35-year-old hit song ‘Fast Car’ was named both song and single of the year at the 2023 awards ceremony in Nashville.Despite being released back in 1988 as the lead single from Chapman’s self-titled debut album, the song won the awards due to the recent cover from American singer-songwriter Luke Combs.Released earlier this year, the rendition reached the Number Two spot in the US singles chart and Number 30 on the UK charts.However, the win for Combs also marked a long-overdue milestone for the original songwriter, as it meant that Chapman became the first Black songwriter to win Song of the Year in the award’s 57-year history.“First and foremost, I want to thank Tracy Chapman for writing one of the best songs of all time,” Combs said, accepting the award and calling the prize “an honour”. “I just recorded it because I loved the song.
