The song peaked at #5 in the band's native UK in January 1989 before hitting #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S. on April 15, 1989. A remixed version was released in 1997. Vs. Michael Jackson - Man In The MirrorThe music video to "Man in the Mirror" features sequences of footage of Jackson performing on stage. Although it generally shows footage of historic events in escalating intensity of violence and despair, leading up to a nuclear explosion at the key change, followed by footage expressing hope and peace.

I love both songs oh so much.
Man in the Mirror is a classic on so many levels to me tho and I hold it close so that wins hands down.

HDX pushes Michael on through. ---------------------------------------------- Only 3 matches left! Toto - Africa"Africa" is a song by rock band Toto. Its story is told from the perspective of a man in Africa awaiting his female partner's inbound flight. The protagonist looks forward to their time together during the rainy season as it grants a reprieve from his normal responsibilities. The song's catchy chorus incorporates metaphor for his determination to guard his time with her: "It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you / There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do / I bless the rains down in Africa / Gonna take some time to do the things we never had". The song was included on their 1982 album Toto IV, and reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in February 1983. The song was written by the band's keyboardist David Paich, who also sings both verses of the song, and drummer Jeff Porcaro. Bobby Kimball sings the chorus. Vs. Robert Palmer - Addicted to LoveThe music video was directed by Terence Donovan, in which Palmer's backing band is a group of mini-skirted identical women whose pale skin, strong makeup, and black hair makes them resemble the women in Patrick Nagel paintings. The video is notable for being the first (and last) one shown on long running UK music programme The Chart Show. Palmer recycled the video's "identical women" concept for the videos of three other songs of his; namely "I Didn't Mean to Turn You On" (also from Riptide), "Simply Irresistible" and the animated "Change His Ways" (both from Heavy Nova). The video was very popular and was referenced/parodied in several videos, including Beyoncé's "Green Light", which shares many of the same elements. It is also referenced in Mr Blobby's music video for "Mr Blobby", Shania Twain's "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!", in which Palmer's women are substituted for men dancing in the same way. Tone Lôc's "Wild Thing," Bowling for Soup's "1985" and "Weird Al" Yankovic's "UHF." In addition, Weird Al parodied the song itself in a song called "Addicted to Spuds". As well, Bill Nighy's character, Billy Mack, parodies the video in the 2003 romantic comedy Love Actually, and 13 years earlier Leslie Nielsen's character, Father Jebedaiah Mayii, parodies the same in the 1990 comedy "horror" film Repossessed. It was also used in a dream sequence of Dr. Joel Fleischman in an episode of Northern Exposure. The 2006 Super Bowl spot of the TV series "Lost" featured an edited version of the video with inserted images of the show's first and second seasons and modified lyrics that changed the word "love" for "Lost" (hence the title, "Addicted to Lost"). The Video ranked at number 3 on VH1's top 20 videos of the 80's.
