Rush - Spirit Of Radio

Rush had grazed the UK Top 40 two years earlier with "Closer to the Heart", but when "The Spirit of Radio" was issued as a single in March 1980, it reached number 13 on the UK Singles Chart. It remains their biggest UK hit to date (the 7" single was a 3:00 edited version which has never appeared on CD to date). In the US, the single peaked at number 51 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1980 and number 22 in Canada, and in 1998 a live version of the song reached number 27 on the Mainstream Rock Chart.
