8 Dec
Summary
- Only 10 Golden Globe-nominated original songs topped the Billboard Hot 100.
- Giorgio Moroder co-wrote two of these chart-topping nominated songs.
- 'Strangers in the Night' was the first nominated song to hit No. 1.
A select group of 10 songs, nominated for a Golden Globe for best original song, have achieved the rare feat of topping the Billboard Hot 100 for at least six weeks. This exclusive list highlights the intersection of critical acclaim and massive commercial success in popular music.
Among these honored songs, Giorgio Moroder's songwriting talent is evident, as he co-penned two of the tracks that achieved this dual recognition. This underscores his significant impact on music that resonated both with awards bodies and the general public.
The journey of these chart-toppers began in 1966 with "Strangers in the Night." This song's success marked the first time a Golden Globe nominee for best original song simultaneously dominated the Billboard Hot 100, setting a precedent for future musical milestones.
