Glen Campbell Lands First Hit In 33 Years

Glen Campbell’s touching final recording, I’m Not Going to Miss You, has struck a chord with fans, sending the singer into the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time in 33 years.

I’m Not Going to Miss You was recorded during Campbell’s final recording sessions at a time when he was already suffering the effects of Alzheimer’s disease, an illness that has now advanced enough that Glen can no longer record or tour. It comes from the soundtrack of the new documentary Glen Campbell: I’ll Be Me.

Debuting this week at number 90, the song actually has already charted better than his last Hot 100 single, 1981’s I Love My Truck, which peaked at 96.

Earlier that same year, his I Don’t Want to Know Your Name went to 65. It’s his 38th Hot 100 entry, including five top ten hits:

Wichita Lineman (1968 / #3)
Galveston (1969 / #4)
It’s Only Make Believe (1970 / #10)
Rhinestone Cowboy (1975 / #1)
Southern Nights (1977 / #1)

He also topped the Country Singles chart five and the Adult Contemporary eight times.
