BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1978
Disco Love Week Encore
“A Little More Love” is the lead single by Australian singer Olivia Newton-John from her 1978 album Totally Hot. It was a worldwide Top 10 hit single, peaking at #4 in the UK and #3 in the US. In Canada, it spent three weeks at #2 during February and March 1979 and was the seventh biggest Canadian hit of that year.
In the US, Billboard magazine ranked “A Little More Love” as the 17th most popular song of 1979, and Cash Box ranked it as 23rd for the year, where it had peaked at #4.
The single demonstrated a more aggressive and uptempo sound for Newton-John moving her away from her country singles and further into the pop stratosphere. The b-side “Borrowed Time” was one of two tracks from the “Totally Hot” LP written by Newton-John.

Hi! I have a request, I miss Mike Oldfield at Burning the Ground. I wonder if you have the Magic Touch single, I have sought after this in a long time because it’s a different vocalist on the single vs on the album Islands.
Thank you for att the work!
amazing
Thank you marcio e luana 🙂
Classic ONJ, one of her top songs! Thanks Paul for choosing this music, many times you help me to rediscover that happy boy who remains alive inside this old man.
You’re very welcome Walter C 🙂
Thank you, Paul… for all your Files 😉
You’re welcome villah 🙂
Great song, remember it like it was yesterday!
This song is in my top five fav ONJ songs.
Twice recently I’ve visited my local supermarket and this song has been playing. I’ve had to sing along with it. 😂
Juliana Hatfield’s recent cover version of it is very good.

Love it when that happens. I agree JJuliana Hatfield’s version is really good 🙂
