I can't @ "I'll Stand by You" being above "Middle of the Road" even by one spot
EDIT: And FM still having 8 songs in...
EDIT2: That's twice as many as everybody else does...

FM is more familiar here than Heart & Pretenders, so it's expected that they get more love
Blondie is too pop, so some people don't want to rate them too high.
The first single from Heart's tenth album Brigade, "All I Wanna Do..." is a quintessential Heart song (it's big, dramatic, and cheesy) that details a one-night stand. It is Heart's only song to be certified Gold by the RIAA, apparently, and it went to #1 in Canada, Australia, and Sweden. Talk about global.
What the GP had to say:
Buyonce1814 kept it short and sweet with a "Yas bitch!" but on the other hand, Latinazza calls it "such a melodramatic and annoying telenovela in barely five minutes." Lucas32 was feeling inspired: "Mental picture: A cheesy '80s love movie and the main protagonist has just experienced the hardest night of her life and she runs to her car and decides to go for a drive in the middle of the night. It's pouring and she turns on the radio and the song that plays is the cheesiest and corniest '80s soft rock love song ever. This could be that song and it does it amazingly well." I would agree but this song was released in 1990. Do your research before you get ha to Hollywood, please.
I still remember the first time I ever heard "Maria." We were driving home from school and when the chorus came on, my dad promptly changed the radio station.
Woo, that last minute of "Atomic" slays so hard! The rest of the song needs to get on its level.
I feel like some overly-Velveeta covers have ruined its reputation, but "I'll Stand By You" is better than its placement in this rate would suggest. The grandiosity of the production is rather lovely, but Chrissie undersells the sentiment just enough to make it work.
