Magic http://www.shanagrant.com/home.html

"Magic" is a hit 1980 song performed by Olivia Newton-John, from the soundtrack to the film Xanadu. The song was #1 on the Billboard Hot 100
charts for four weeks beginning on August 2, 1980. It also reached a high of #4 on the Australian charts and #32 in the UK.

"Magic" became Newton-John's biggest Adult Contemporary hit to date, and her biggest pop hit until "Physical" ruled the Hot 100 for
ten weeks beginning in November 1981. Billboard magazine ranked "Magic" as the third most popular single of 1980, behind only "Call Me"
by Blondie and "Another Brick in the Wall" by Pink Floyd.

The B-sides depend on the label: "Fool Country" (also from Xanadu but not on the OST) is the B-side of the MCA release; "Whenever You're
Away From Me" (with Gene Kelly) is the B-side of the Jet release.

A new version of the song by Stimulator is used in commercials for Macy's.

Meaghan Jette Martin recorded a cover of this song to the soundtrack of Wizards of Waverly Place. Swedish singer Sanna
Nielsen also recorded a cover of the song on her 2008 album Stronger.

ONJ's BEST SINGLE!

One of the best pop confections EVER!

The song suits her range and sweet-girl-next-door (aka SANDY) pop persona.
