This
week we have a very unusual song that originally was a Russian
romance song. The song featured in many albums sung by number of
artists. However the version that is probably best remembered in
English-speaking countries is sung by Mary Hopkin (born 3 May 1950),
a Welsh folk singer, in a 1968 recording. The song became extremely
popular and was a chart-topping hit in much of the Northern
Hemisphere. “Those were
the days” became a
number-one hit in the UK Singles Chart. In the US, Hopkin's recording
reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the Billboard
Easy Listening charts for six weeks.In the Netherlands, it topped the
charts for two consecutive weeks.
