On this day August 15, 1981, "Endless Love," the unforgettable duet by Diana Ross and Lionel Richie, soared to the top of the U.S. charts, claiming the #1 spot. This iconic love song held its reign at the top until October 16, dominating the airwaves for an impressive two months.

The magic of "Endless Love" wasn’t confined to America—it also hit #1 in Canada, Australia, and South Africa, becoming a global sensation. Even today, it's celebrated as one of the greatest duets of all time.
