Song of the day for October 21 2023

Today’s song has a special place in my heart, as the original version was my first dance song when I married my lovely wife. This version is a little different, as it features Lindsey Stirling playing the violin. John wrote this song for his wife Chrissy Teigen and it is on his fourth studio album, Love in the Future. On the week ending May 17, 2014, it peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming his first number-one single in the United States. It knocked off “Happy” by Pharrell Williams, which had spent 10 weeks at number one. The song peaked at number two in the United Kingdom, South Africa and New Zealand and topped the charts in Australia, Canada, Ireland, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland and the Netherlands. It became the second best-selling song of 2014 in the United States with 4.67 million copies sold for the year, as well as the third best-selling song in the United Kingdom. “All of Me” was the third best-selling song of 2014 with 12.3 million equivalent-units worldwide (sales plus streaming), according to the IFPI.
