About Here in My Heart

"Here in My Heart" is a popular song, written by Pat Genaro, Lou Levinson, and Bill Borrelli, and published in 1952. A recording of the song by Al Martino made history as the first number one on the UK Singles Chart, on 14 November 1952. "Here in My Heart" remained in the top position for nine weeks in the United Kingdom, setting a record for the longest consecutive run at number one, a record which, over 50 years on, has only been beaten by seven other tracks - Bryan Adams's "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You" (16 weeks), the Wet Wet Wet version of The Troggs' "Love Is All Around" (15 weeks), Drake's "One Dance" (15 weeks), David Whitfield's "Cara Mia" (10 weeks), Rihanna's "Umbrella" (10 weeks), Whitney Houston's version of Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You" (10 weeks). and Tones and I's "Dance Monkey" (11 weeks). Frankie Laine's "I Believe" spent a total of 18 weeks at number one, but not consecutively, instead totalling those weeks across several runs at the top. By staying at number one until 1953 in the UK, Martino secured for himself the record of being the only performer to have a number one hit in the entire year of 1952. No subsequent act has ever dominated the top spot so entirely in any later year. Other versions, were also recorded by Vic Damone, and Tony Bennett around the same time. A rhythm and blues version was also recorded that year, by Wini Brown and her Boy Friends. Mario Lanza, at the height of his popularity in the early 1950, had also planned to record this song, but changed his mind when asked not to by Martino, so his recording would not be overlooked. In 1961, Martino re-recorded the song, although it only reached number 86 on the Billboard Top 100 chart (Top 20 on their "Easy Listening" survey). He had previously rerecorded the song in an unsuccessful rockaballad version for MGM's Cub label.
