On this day, December 24, 1988, Poison’s heartfelt ballad “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” claimed the top spot on the US Billboard Charts, staying at #1 until January 13.

The song, written by Bret Michaels, was inspired by a deeply personal moment. After calling his girlfriend, he heard another man’s voice in the background, leaving him heartbroken. This emotional pain became the foundation for the iconic ballad that resonated with millions.
