On this day, January 18, 1986, Heart released the power ballad These Dreams. This iconic track became the band’s first #1 song in America, topping the Billboard Hot 100 during the week of March 22–28. It also reached #1 in Canada, solidifying its place as a classic in Heart’s discography.

These Dreams was unique for Heart, as it featured lead vocals by Nancy Wilson instead of Ann Wilson, creating a softer and more ethereal tone that resonated with audiences worldwide. The song appeared on their self-titled 1985 album, which marked a major commercial comeback for the band.

Fun Fact: While These Dreams was Heart’s first #1 song, their earlier hit Magic Man (1975) established the band as rock royalty and remains one of their signature tracks.

Trivia Question: What is the title of the album that featured Heart’s chart-topping hit These Dreams?
