Dear Poptastic Readers,
In case you are just joining us, we have been counting down our Top 101 Songs of 2024.
#4 in our Top 101 Songs of 2022 is: “Shining Star” by Betty Boo. Click on the name of the song to read about what we originally wrote about the song earlier this year.
Written by: Alison Clarkson (aka Betty Boo) and Andy Wright
Produced by: Andy Wright, and Gavin Goldberg
Why: "Holla holla! Sequins and dollars, Dressed in Gucci and Dolce Gabanna, Someone get me a piña colada!" That opening line is just amazing, as is Betty Boo herself. This shiny disco pop song had it all, and we loved listening to this gem most of the year.
Watch: The music video features Betty and the Booettes running around with lots of neon lights. Check it out in our 2022 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on YouTube.
Live Performance: Watch Betty perform "Shining Star" at her album launch party ...
A Different Version: On Betty Boo's album Boomerang, there is a version of "Shining Star" with Sophie Ellis-Bextor. She sings the chorus a little bit differently. Have a listen ...
Chart History: Before this year, Betty's last single was in 2007, and Poptastic Confessions started in 2011. So, she has never been on our countdowns before. However, she did have lots of songs in our Top 101 Songs this year ...
"Stop Your Nonsense (Bubblegum Pop)" was #32 this year
"Miracle" featuring Chuck D was #44 this year
"All I Wanna Do" was #53 this year
Buy: "Shining Star" is available on digital outlets everywhere. Buy your copy today!
Listen: Check out our 2022 Poptastic Confessions Playlist on Spotify. Remember, the best way to support them is to legally buy their music. Please do so. Enjoy!
Cheers then,
