NEW
YORK (Tina Turner Website) - She's like the little black dress of the
music world - a classic that, despite the vagaries of time and trends,
is always in style. And so
Tina Turner launched the release of her new
double-CD anthology, All The Best, in typically dynamic fashion: with a
rock'em, sock'em series of six national television appearances,
performing her brand new single "Open Arms," one of three new songs she
recorded especially for the collection, which recaps the highlights of
her unrivaled four-decade career. America, once again, was blown away
by Tina, snapping up 121,493 copies of All The Best, resulting in its
debut at #2 on the Billboard 200. This extraordinary debut marks two
important career milestones for Turner -- All The Best is both her
highest debut on the Billboard 200 and her highest-charting album ever
in the U.S. (Private Dancer peaked at #3.) The ensuing momentum has
snowballed at radio, turning "
Open Arms" into a Top 20 hit at the Adult
Contemporary format after only three weeks of airplay.
Fans
will have another chance to see Turner perform her latest hit on "The
View" on Friday, February 18th. In the past week, she has performed
"Open Arms," as well as classic hits from her vast repertoire, on NBC's
"Today Show" (in a two-day segment), "The Oprah Winfrey Show," "Live
With Regis and Kelly," "The
Ellen DeGeneres Show" and CBS' "The Early
Show."
Released February 1st, All The Best is an essential
collection that features the songs she made famous in the 1960's with
the Ike &
Tina Turner Revue, reviews two decades of spectacular
solo recordings and brings the story right up to date with a trio of
newly-recorded songs: "Open Arms," produced by Jimmy Hogarth,
"Complicated Disaster," produced by Steve Robson, and "Something
Special," produced by Trevor Horn.
Across two discs and 33
tracks, All The Best is a comprehensive array of hits, including "Proud
Mary," "Nutbush City Limits," "What's Love Got To Do With It," "We
Don't Need Another Hero (Thunderdome)," "Private Dancer," "Missing
You," "I Don't Wanna Fight" and "Better Be Good To Me" as well as a
live-in-London version of "Addicted To Love" and duets with
David Bowie
("
Tonight"),
Bryan Adams ("It's Only Love") and Italian superstar Eros
Ramazzotti ("
Cose Della Vita").
Described recently by USA Today as a "rock and soul supernova," it's clear that
Tina Turner is shining brighter than ever.
