Top singles from the past
19 October 2025
Iconic songsmith NEIL YOUNG, who turns 80 next month, released his
heartrending musing ONLY LOVE CAN BREAK YOUR HEART as a single
this day 55 years ago, on 19 October 1970.
It featured on his classic LP After The Gold Rush.
The song is praised as a “seemingly simple song which
displays considerable attention to detail in the deployment
of instruments.”
It was Young‘s first top 40 hit as a solo artist in the US, peaking at No. 35.
