A cover by Florence and the Machine – retitled You’ve Got The Love – made Number 5 in 2009, but You Got The Dirtee Love, a remake of the song with Dizzee Rascal - are you keeping up? - finally beat the original, hitting Number 2 in 2010 after an electric performance at the BRIT Awards.Ĭandi Staton's version of You Got The Love made it into the Top 10 for a third time in 2006 – this time making it to Number 7. A remix improved on that by one place in 1997. The Source and Candi Staton’s version of You Got The Love – itself not the original, and actually borrowing a backing track from Frankie Knuckles' tune Your Love – first reached 4 in 1992. Whitney Houston and Kygo You(’ve) Got The Love The original, from Steve Winwood, didn't even make the Top 10 when originally released in 1986 – it stalled at Number 13. Whitney Houston's cover of Higher Love had long languished as a bonus track on the Japanese versions of her third album I'm Your Baby Tonight, before Kygo got his hands on it for a cheeky remix and took it to Number 2. Speaking of higher… one of 2019's unlikeliest, yet biggest hits, brought together a late, great legend and a Norwegian DJ. The higher you go, the better, right? Higher Love Remember, we’re not talking about sales – the only numbers that count here are those all-important chart positions. We look at cover versions that managed what song purists would call unthinkable – they charted higher than the original! Cover versions are a huge part of pop and though many regard the original version of a song as the definitive, there are plenty of people who reckon it takes a cover version to really make a song sparkle.
