k.d. lang's performance of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" at the Logie Awards, Australia's television awards, last week "held the room spellbound," says the Sydney Morning Herald. It's a response familiar to those who experienced lang's rendition of the song on the Opening Ceremonies of the Vancouver Winter Olympics in February. Now comes word that the lang's latest Nonesuch release, Recollection, has shot to No. 1 on Australia's album chart, knocking teen pop phenom Justin Bieber, a fellow Canadian, from the top spot.
This week's move to No. 1 marks a return to the top spot for Recollection, the first-ever career retrospective from lang, which reached No. 1 upon its release on Nonesuch in February.
