On This Day: March 22 1986 These Dreams by Heart Became the Number One Song in America
On this day March 22 1986 These Dreams by Heart hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 where it stayed for one week until March 28. The song became Heart’s first number one hit and marked a shift in their sound toward a more polished and radio-friendly style.

Featuring lead vocals by Nancy Wilson instead of Ann Wilson These Dreams stood out as one of the band's most emotional and atmospheric ballads. The song helped push Heart’s self-titled 1985 album to commercial success and solidified their place in 80s rock history.

Fun fact: These Dreams was originally written for Stevie Nicks but ended up being given to Heart instead.

Trivia question: What was the name of the hit song from the same Heart album that featured Ann Wilson on lead vocals and became another major success?
