"Shattered Dreams" is a hit pop song by English pop group Johnny Hates Jazz. Written by the band's lead singer Clark Datchler, the band's major-label debut single was a worldwide hit. "Shattered Dreams" entered the UK Singles Chart in March 1987 at #92 but gained popularity through extensive radio play and video rotation on MTV and the song quickly climbed the charts and peaked at #5 in May 1987, spending three weeks at that position and a total of 16 weeks in the chart. It went on to become a top 20 hit throughout Europe, and even reached the top 10 in some countries. The song fared even better the following year in the U.S. There, "Shattered Dreams" was released early in 1988 with a totally different music video, shot entirely in black and white and directed by David Fincher, which Datchler actually preferred.〔(Back to the 80s: Interview with Clark Datchler of Johnny Hates Jazz - Kickin' it Old School )〕 The single peaked at #2 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart and topped ''Billboard's'' Adult Contemporary chart for one week. A midtempo club remix of the track was released on 12" vinyl. ''Billboard'' magazine ranked "Shattered Dreams" as the #26 song of the year 1988 in their December 31 issue.〔(''Shattered Dreams'' ) from ''Billboard.com''〕 Clark Datchler and the group would soon part, and Datchler released an acoustic version of the song as a track on his 1990 Virgin solo single "Crown of Thorns." He later re-recorded a slower version on his 2007 album "Tomorrow" in C minor. The song has been covered by boyband Ultra, on its UK Top 40 eponymous album in 1999; by House artist Jaybee in 2005;〔(''Shattered Dreams'' ) from ''discogs.com''〕 by Russian pop star Sergey Lazarev in 2007; and in 2009 by Quentin Elias, former singer for French boyband Alliage, House artist Vibelicious and by American Idol Season 7 winner David Cook during his Declaration tour. ==Chart performance== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shattered Dreams」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
