Enya - "Wild Child"

[BillboardBoy]

One of my favorite Enya songs. It got to #10 on the AC chart in 2002. It debuted a week late on Dick Clark's U.S. Survey because they decided to use a phoney chart the week before.

^Didn't they occasionally do that? I seem to remember on another message board, someone mentioned that they would fudge around with the chart one week, then leave it as it was the next week, then the week after, change a few songs' positions, and so forth. It would make for weird chart runs at times - I believe "Back At One" moved something like 13-18-14. The week that it was #18, of course, was the chart where they changed things around.

As for the song, it was OK, but not my favorite by Enya. Not as good as "Only If" or "Orinoco Flow".

I liked it. Probably more than 'Only Time'. This was a Top 10 hit for me.

[Hervard]

Yeah I forgot to mention that "Only Time" was pretty good, but not quite as good as the other two I mentioned. "Only If" was an upbeat song that sounded exactly a cross between "Only Time" and "Orinoco Flow". I don't think it was ever played on the radio, but it might have been, especially on jazz-based AC stations.

Ugh, can't stand Enya. I'll take the Heart and W.A.S.P. songs of the same name over this anyday.

I had this on my iPod for years. Good one!

Yes, I remember that happened when R&R had "Landslide" at #1 and Dick Clark had it lower (perhaps #3).
