Tina Turner — The Best

Turner's signature anthem is broadly charting today, tracked across 104 country and platform charts as tribute programming keeps the late singer's catalog in circulation. A recent NAACP-nominated Hollywood tribute, Simply The Best, staged a live celebration of the Queen of Rock 'n' Roll since her death in May 2023, and the stage biography Tina: The Tina Turner Musical continues to tour internationally, both keeping the song in front of new audiences. Originally cut by Bonnie Tyler in 1988, "The Best" became a career-defining vehicle for Turner via her Foreign Affair album, per Wikipedia — a fist-in-the-air power ballad that has outlived nearly every context it was written for. Its return after a 13-day gap tracks the steady rhythm of posthumous celebration.
