On December 18, 1986, Bon Jovi's single "Livin' on a prayer" hit no. 4 on the United Kingdom charts. The song was featured on Bon Jovi's 1986 album "Slippery when wet". The track was also Bon Jovi's first hit ever to reach no. 1 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart.

Livin' on a prayer has become Bon Jovi's most popular song and the original single release sold more than 800,000 copies in the US alone. By 2013, the track was downloaded more than 3 million times. The official video has been viewed 283,400,661 times by the time of writing of this post! Can you believe it?

It's one of my favorite classics, enjoy listening.
