Bryan Adams - "Somebody"
from the album Reckless (1984)
Billboard Hot 100 peak: #11 (one week)
Weeks in the Top-40: 10

Today's Song of the Day is by Canadian rocker Bryan Adams, who started out 1985 with his second top-ten single with "Run To You". For the second single from his Reckless album, Bryan released the equally-infectious "Somebody", powered by another guitar riff and a big sound seemingly like it was recorded in a canyon...

"Somebody" almost became Adams' third top tenner in the States, stopping just below the mark in April of 1985. However, he made up for it by topping the rock radio chart in Billboard like "Run To You" did. Internationally, the song made the top-40 in Britain, peaking at #35, and surprisingly only went to #13 in his native country.

Although that filmed video was released, MTV played the superior "live" video instead...
