"I've Done Everything For You," Rick Springfield (1981)

An unexpected point on the heavy metal axis

Peak: #8 on the Hot 100
Streams: 8.2 million

Here’s the thing about “I’ve Done Everything For You:” Rick Springfield and his team believed in it so much that they made it the first single from his breakthrough album Working Class Dog. That means they released it before “Jessie’s Girl!”

But the first time around, nobody cared. After “Jessie’s Girl” hit #1, however, “I’ve Done Everything For You” got a second chance, and that time, it worked.
