On this day, January 24, 1981, Hall & Oates released their hit single Kiss on My List. The song became the duo’s second number-one hit on the US Billboard Hot 100, where it held the top spot for three weeks. Its upbeat melody, catchy chorus, and smooth vocals turned it into one of the defining songs of the early 80s.

Featured on their album Voices, Kiss on My List was written by Daryl Hall and Janna Allen. The song’s relatable lyrics about love and relationships, paired with Hall & Oates’ signature sound, made it a fan favorite and a staple of their live performances.

Fun Fact: Daryl Hall originally intended Kiss on My List to be sung by Janna Allen, but after recording it himself, the duo decided to release it as their own single.

Trivia Question: What was the title of Hall & Oates’ first number-one hit on the Billboard Hot 100, released in 1977?
