@jeffeosso True, the song was released in late 1985. However, it took a few weeks to reach the Billboard Hot 100 chart and that is the debut date I posted 2/8/1986.
What's really weird about this song is that it's a GERMAN song played (in excess) in ENGLISH speaking countries. Well, that's Germany for ya, always trying to win back our trust in ways we don't even know about.
this is the single version that was released in Australia too in 1986. from memory the original version was released first, and did ok, but then this edit went to number 1 in a few countries. i remember buying this single and then the 12" remix which also had the original single on it.

Falco is AUSTRIAN not a GERMAN artist.
whoever does not believe that will go on wikipedia.
Falco alias Johann Hölzel.
