1000 No. 1s Video Series Day 11:
John Waite Talks About Topping the Hot 100
2011 was the year that Billboard celebrated the 1000th No. 1 song on the Hot 100. As we look back on this year in music, we’re celebrating that milestone with a month-long series of videos — one for each day of December — chatting with 31 of the hitmakers who rocketed to the top of the chart since its inception in 1958. SEE THE FULL CHART HERE.
English singer Waite’s “Missing You,” which reached No. 1 on Sept. 22, 1984, has the distinction of replacing Tina Turner‘s huge hit, “What’s Love Got To Do With It?” in the top slot. “Missing You” helped propel Waite’s 1984 album, “No Brakes,” into the top 10 of the Billboard 200.
