Relentless

"Relentless" is a song from Lita Ford's eighth studio album, Living Like A Runaway, the sixth song to chart from the album on Jessica's Top 40. "Relentless" became Lita's record-extending sixth #1 from the album and 10th #1 overall.

Lita Ford achieved the seemingly impossible in February 2013 - earning more chart-toppers than Madonna. But proving it wasn't enough, another song from Living Like A Runaway made the chart the following month, aiming not only to extend the record but also push Lita ahead of Oasis and Kelly Clarkson to become the chart's biggest all-time points earner and overall top artist.

The sixth song to chart from the album, "Relentless", follows in the vein of the album's title track, a record-smashing JT40 chart-topper, with lyrics inspired by Lita's music career. The song is a declaration that she will keep playing the music that got her through her rough times. Highlighted in many reviews of the album as one of the stand-out rockers, Blabbermouth described the song as "an audience pleaser based on Lita's sorrow and her will to heal through music."

"Relentless" debuted on Jessica's Top 40 on March 10, 2013, but experienced a slower than expected climb, infamously being upstaged by a bigger climb from another debut that week, "On The Metro" by Girls Aloud. However, the song experienced strong top 10 longevity throughout its run and managed to become a big hit. "Relentless" spent two weeks at #1, Lita's 10th and the album's sixth. Its climb and the continued longevity of previous Lita songs helped her become my chart's top artist ahead of its climb to #1, achieving the milestone the week of April 21.
