Daily Eighties Flashback: Alphaville “Forever Young”

Likely on the list of songs you thought performed better on Billboard‘s Hot 100 than they actually did, Alphaville‘s “Forever Young” made two appearances on the chart in the 1980s, but it didn’t reach the Top 40 either time. In its first appearance, in 1985, “Forever Young” only lasted four weeks on the chart, peaking at number 93. Three years later, in 1988, the song made its reappearance, this time climbing to number 65. On this date in 1985, “Forever Young” reached its first-run peak of number 93.
