''Wanna Be a Star'' is the ninth album by the Canadian rock band Chilliwack, released in 1981. At this point, the band had collapsed into a trio, without a full-time drummer, but leader Bill Henderson and guitarist/keyboardist/drummer Brian MacLeod had become a powerful songwriting team during the interim. The album track: "My Girl (Gone, Gone, Gone)", became the group's first hit since the 1979 collapse of their former label Mushroom Records, reaching #1 in Canada and giving Chilliwack their U.S. Top 40 breakthrough peaking at #22 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100: "My Girl (Gone, Gone, Gone)" also gave Chilliwack their only evident chart item outside North America reaching #57 in Australia with a disproportionately long chart run of 28 weeks. The success of "My Girl (Gone, Gone, Gone)" led to a touring version of Chilliwack re-forming. The album's second single: "I Believe", was also a Top 10 Canadian hit and returned Chilliwack to the U.S. Top 40 at #33. Overall the album is something of a concept album about the "rock and roll" lifestyle and the pursuit of fame. The leadoff track "Sign Here" is a reference to Chilliwack's new quest for mainstream success, tempered by their brush with fame on Mushroom. This was the first album they recorded with Solid Gold Records in Canada, a new Toronto-based label. ==Track listing== All songs written by Bill Henderson and Brian MacLeod except where listed. #"Sign Here" (2:57) #"So You Wanna Be a Star" (4:29) #"Tell It to the Telephone" (Henderson) (3:14) #"Too Many Enemies" (4:39) #"Living In Stereo" (4:49) (Henderson) #"Mr. Rock" (3:51) (Henderson) #"My Girl (Gone, Gone, Gone)" (4:16) #"(Don't Wanna) Live for a Living" (MacLeod) (3:22) #"Walk On" (Henderson) (3:38) #"I Believe" (Henderson) (3:57) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wanna Be a Star」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
