Missing You (John Waite song) Missing You (John Waite song) "Missing You" is a song co-written and recorded by English musician John Waite. It was released in June 1984 as the lead single from his second album, "No Brakes". It reached #1 on "Billboard"s Album Rock Tracks and on the Hot 100 as well as #9 on the UK Singles Chart. "Missing You" was the only record from 1984 to spend only one week at the top of the Hot 100. The song was nominated for the 1985 Best Pop Vocal Performance Male Grammy Award. Waite re-recorded the song with country/bluegrass artist Alison Krauss which
2002 in British music charts hit the top of the UK charts over 20 years prior with his cover version of "Begin The Beguine". The track was taken from his chart topping album "Escape" which made him the first act to top the single and album charts simultaneously in five years and spawned a No. 3 hit "Escape" and two No. 12 hits by December. Taking over from the Stereophonics were fusion kings, the Chemical Brothers, with their 3rd No. 1 album, "Come With Us". Despite having received success on the albums chart throughout their career, they hadn't received a chart topping single early 1997.
