BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1982
Very excited I am going to see Olivia tonight right here in Tulsa, she will be performing at The Joint at the Hard Rock. Olivia is currently promoting her new album “LIV ON” which is available now.
“Landslide” is a song by Australian singer Olivia Newton-John from her twelfth studio album Physical. It was released in several countries as the third and last single from the album in April 1982. In United Kingdom, however, it was released in January 1982 as the second single (“Make a Move on Me” was the third and last single). The single didn’t achieve the success of its predecessors from the album, but peaked at the top 20 on the UK Singles Charts. The song also wasn’t performed during the Physical Tour, but had some performances in television programs during the international promotion.
In the United States “Landslide” peaked at #52 on the Billboard Hot 100debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 on June 12, 1982 peaking at #52.
Of note the 7″ version is slightly different from the 4:23 LP version.

I love Livvy! I remember seeing her in 1982 during her Physical tour.
Thank you very much dear Paul for another great single by Olivia! 🙂
I’m sorry I wasn’t here for a long time, but as I see all as like it was before – you’re doing a great job!
P.S. Have you heard a brand new “Liv On” by Olivia, Beth Nielsen Chapman & Amy Sky? I really enjoy this album!
Great to see you Spring. Yes I love Olivia’s new album there is a link to it above in the description. The album is for people who are going through loss and it is beautiful “LIV ON”.
Have a great time tonight Paul!
thank you Jermajesty 🙂

You’re welcome John. It’s coming soon.
You have posted some really obscure Olivia treats here. Have fun Paul, that should be a great show. Some of my earliest memories are of her singing in her lullaby like voice.
Thank you Joey 🙂
