On this day, November 8, 1986, Boston’s hit single “Amanda” reached #1 on the Billboard charts, holding the top spot from November 8 to November 21. This heartfelt power ballad also climbed to #1 in Canada, marking a major success for the band after a long hiatus. Known for its memorable melody and Tom Scholz’s signature guitar sound, “Amanda” became one of Boston’s most beloved songs and a classic of the ’80s rock era.
