ROBERT PALMER Topped US Singles Chart With ‘ADDICTED TO LOVE’ 40 Years Ago Today

Top singles from the past

8 June 2026

The late great English singer-songwriter ROBERT PALMER (1949 – 2003) topped
the US Singles Chart on 8 June 1986, today 40 years ago, with ADDICTED TO LOVE.
A song from his 8th LP, Riptide.

The accompanying clip was a remarkable/memorable event in itself, with Palmer backed
by a group of sensually moving mannequins who look like robots with pale skin, red lips, layers of make-up, staring eyes, and a cold, yet utterly cool expression on their face, following the style of women in the paintings of the late American artist Patrick Nagel.
