On July 6, 1985, Phil Collins' hit song "Sussudio" reached the pinnacle of the US Billboard charts, becoming the #1 song in America from July 6 to July 12. This upbeat track, known for its distinctive brass section and synthesizer-driven melody, is a standout from Collins' third solo album, "No Jacket Required." The song's catchy, infectious tune not only dominated the US charts but also enjoyed international success, further solidifying Collins' status as a global pop icon. "Sussudio" became emblematic of the 80s music era, frequently featured on radio and in various media, contributing significantly to the album's success and earning Collins multiple awards, including a Grammy for Album of the Year. Interestingly, the title "Sussudio" started as a placeholder lyric, but Collins decided to keep it, adding to the song's unique charm.
