| Song |
"Hold On to the Nights" is a power ballad and number-one hit for American rock singer/songwriter/musician Richard Marx.[1] This was the fourth and final single released from his self-titled debut album, and the first to reach the top of the Billboard Hot 100.
Written by Richard Marx, "Hold On to the Nights" reached the Billboard Hot 100 number 1 position on July 23, 1988, preventing Def Leppard's "Pour Some Sugar On Me" from reaching the top spot that same week. The song was on the chart for twenty-one weeks, and left the chart at number sixty-five. [2] From Marx' debut 1987 album, Richard Marx, the song also reached number three on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart.[3] "Hold On to the Nights" has been re-released numerous albums [1] and is included on Marx' live performance DVD A Night Out With Friends (2012).
