2 Nov 2010: it's... 1970!

This was the first time I've heard the original "Lay Down (Candles in the Wind)," but I'm familiary with it because Hits 106 played a remake by Meredith Brooks, of all people.  I don't think her version went anywhere on any chart.

This was the first time I've heard the original "Lay Down (Candles in the Wind)," but I'm familiary with it because Hits 106 played a remake by Meredith Brooks, of all people.  I don't think her version went anywhere on any chart.

The Meredith Brooks/Queen Latifah version came out in late 1999, and also received a couple of plays on the Rick Dees Weekly Top 40, Hot AC version. It also spent four weeks at #1 on somebody's personal chart, but nationally I don't believe it charted anywhere.

EDIT: None of the singles from "Deconstruction" charted, but the album did manage to peak at #12.
