“Bring Me to Life” is the debut single from Evanescence’s 2003 album Fallen. Featuring guest vocals by Paul McCoy of 12 Stones, the dramatic fusion of gothic rock, nu metal and orchestral elements became the band's breakthrough hit. It reached #5 on the Billboard Hot 100, #1 in the UK, #1 in Australia, #1 in Italy and topped the charts in several other countries, helping Fallen become one of the best-selling debut albums of the 21st century. Amy Lee originally envisioned the song as a solo vocal performance, but the record label insisted on adding a male singer because they believed rock radio needed a male voice to market the track. Although Lee later expressed frustration with that decision, the song became an international phenomenon after its prominent use in the 2003 film Daredevil, earning Evanescence the Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance in 2004.

“Going Under” is the second single from Evanescence’s 2003 debut album Fallen. Written by Amy Lee, Ben Moody and David Hodges, the track became one of the band's defining songs, reaching the Top 10 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock and Alternative Airplay charts while helping Fallen become one of the best-selling rock albums of the 21st century. Originally intended to be the album's lead single, "Going Under" was ultimately pushed back after "Bring Me to Life" was selected for the Daredevil soundtrack. In the music video Amy Lee handcrafted her own gothic corset, but it was laced so tightly that she nearly passed out from lack of breath during filming.

#AEROHistory: August 28th 1975 Aerosmith releases the single ‘Walk This Way’. Written by Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, the song was originally released as the second single from the 1975 album Toys in the Attic. It peaked at number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early 1977, part of a string of successful hit singles for the band in the 1970s. In addition to being one of the songs that helped break Aerosmith into the mainstream in the 1970s, it also helped revitalize their career in the 1980s when it was covered by rappers RUN DMC on their 1986 album Raising Hell. This cover was a touchstone for the new musical subgenre of rap rock, or the melding of rock and hip hop. It became an international hit and won both groups a Soul Train Music Award for Best Rap Single in 1987.

Featuring the US No. 1 single “Uncle Albert / Admiral Halsey,” the album was recorded during McCartney’s legal fight to dissolve The Beatles’ partnership, following their breakup the previous year. John Lennon felt that several tracks, especially “Too Many People” and “Dear Boy,” were directed at him. The album reached No. 2 in the US and has since been re-evaluated as one of Paul’s strongest and most creative solo efforts.

“Love Shack” is from The B-52's’s 1989 album Cosmic Thing. The quirky, upbeat dance-rock track became the band’s signature song and biggest commercial hit, peaking at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100, #1 in Australia and #1 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart. The song was inspired by a real, unheated cabin in the woods outside Athens, Georgia, where Kate Pierson and the band threw legendary parties. The track's creation was a triumphant moment for the band, as it was their first major hit following the death of founding guitarist Ricky Wilson in 1985. The song's most famous moment, Kate Pierson's improvised line "Tin roof... rusted!", almost didn't make the final cut, and the music video notably featured an early cameo by a pre-fame RuPaul.

Listen to Your Heart's American breakthrough happened almost by accident when an exchange student brought the album from Sweden and convinced a Minneapolis radio station to play it. The unexpected airplay generated such a strong response that EMI America was forced to release the single nationwide. Originally recorded as a male-vocal demo by Per Gessle, the song was later reimagined around Marie Fredriksson's powerful performance. Its legacy was further reinforced in 2005 when Belgian dance duo D.H.T. turned the song into a major international dance hit with their trance-inspired cover. “Listen to Your Heart” is from Roxette's 1988 album Look Sharp!. Written by Per Gessle and Mats Persson, the sweeping power ballad became the Swedish duo's second No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and reached the Top 10 in several countries. Showcasing Marie Fredriksson's remarkable vocal range, its dramatic melody and emotional lyrics helped make it one of the defining pop-rock ballads of the late 1980s.

"More Than This" was released in 1982 as the lead single from Roxy Music's eighth and final studio album, Avalon. Written by Bryan Ferry, the song became one of the band's most enduring and critically acclaimed recordings, reaching No. 6 on the UK Singles Chart and entering the Top 10 in several countries. Although it achieved only modest success in the United States, its dreamy production and elegant arrangement helped transform it into a defining song of the sophisti-pop era. The song's legacy was further amplified two decades later when it became a pivotal moment in Sofia Coppola's film Lost in Translation (2003), famously performed by Bill Murray during a memorable Tokyo karaoke scene. While Roxy Music's original version failed to reach the US Top 100, a cover by 10,000 Maniacs featuring Mary Ramsey became a Top 25 hit in America in 1997, introducing the song to an entirely new audience.

“I Feel You” is the lead single from Depeche Mode’s 1993 album Songs of Faith and Devotion. Written by Martin Gore, the song marked a dramatic departure from the band's synth-pop roots, embracing a darker blend of alternative rock, blues, gospel and electronic music. It became an international hit, reaching #8 on the UK Singles Chart, the Top 10 in several European countries and #3 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart in the US, while helping propel the album to debut at #1 in both the UK and the US. Embracing the early '90s rock climate, the band incorporated live drums, played by Alan Wilder, and a heavy guitar riff by Martin Gore, marking their boldest sonic shift. The black-and-white music video, directed by Anton Corbijn, blended religious iconography with surreal eroticism, perfectly mirroring the album's themes. The subsequent Devotional Tour proved bittersweet, marking the final chapter for Alan Wilder as a member of the band while coinciding with Dave Gahan's well-documented struggles with addiction.
