Poison's Iconic Ballad: "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" Turns 35
In 1988, rock band Poison achieved a remarkable milestone when they snagged the coveted No. 1 spot on the singles chart with their timeless classic, "Every Rose Has Its Thorn." The song's success was even more impressive considering it had faced substantial resistance from radio programmers.
Prior to their chart-topping triumph, Poison was no stranger to Billboard's Hot 100 chart. They had already delivered a string of hits, with songs like "Talk Dirty to Me," "I Won't Forget You," "Nothin’ But a Good Time," and "Fallen Angel" solidifying their presence in the Top 20. Despite this track record, capturing the No. 1 position had remained an elusive goal.
Lead singer Bret Michaels remembered the initial struggle to get "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" on the airwaves. The song's heartfelt, acoustic, country-tinged sound was a departure from their usual rock anthems. Michaels had to convince radio stations to give it a chance, emphasizing the song's emotional sincerity.
In a surprising twist, it was a group of Dallas radio stations that decided to embrace the song. They put it into heavy rotation, and from there, "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" soared to the top of the charts.
Michaels reflected on the experience, noting that many had doubted the song's potential. But the band's perseverance paid off as it climbed the charts and cemented its place in rock history. "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" has since remained one of Poison's most cherished tracks and continues to captivate audiences at their live performances, proving that every rose, indeed, has its thorn.
