This is wild. Leonard Cohen's back on the British Music charts with a neat accomplishment.
His song Hallelujah has hit #1, #2 and #36 on the British Music Charts.

Saw Leonard Cohen at The Rebecca Cohn last May. He had 5 or 6 sold out shows at The Cohn and I was there for the final night. I had goose bumps listening to him sing. He was that great and left us wanting more. Hard to believe he's 74 and still able to pour his heart and soul into a concert with stories and funny anticdotes in between songs that we all know and love. His song is at #36 on the British Music Charts. It's a lovely song for those reflective moments in life.

Jeff Buckley is at #2 posthumously with his version of the song.

And this is the #1 song from Alexandra Burke ...who?... The winner of X Factor in The UK

I'm partial to the Jeff Buckley version, but these artists also do a great job covering this classic.
