"Victim Of Love" - Bryan Adams
from the album Into The Fire (1987)
Billboard Hot 100 peak: #32 (one week)
Weeks in the top-40: 5

Today's SOTD comes from Canadian rock musician Bryan Adams, whose Into the Fire album from 1987 had already spun off two hits with the top-10 "Heat Of The Night" and "Hearts On Fire". The third single from the set was the low-key melancholy rock of "Victim Of Love", written again by Adams and partner Jim Vallance in a post-Eagles apocalyptic romantic funk...

"Victim Of Love" became the third top-40 pop hit from Into the Fire in October of 1987, while scoring Adams his third of four top-10 hits on Billboard's Mainstream Rock radio list at #10. Internationally the single missed the top-40 in both Britain and Adams' native Canada (#49).
