On this day in 1988: Rick Astley went to #1 on the U.S. singles chart with “Together Forever.” It would spend on week in the top spot.

It was Astley’s second and final U.S. chart-topper. It reached #2 in the UK, being denied the top spot by Neighbours star and fellow Stock Aitken Waterman artist Kylie Minogue with her debut single “I Should Be So Lucky.” Additionally the single peaked at #1 in Canada, Ireland and Spain. It also peaked within the top 10 in Austria, West Germany and Iceland. The song uses a similar chord structure and melody to “Never Gonna Give You Up” (as with most songs written and produced by Stock Aitken Waterman at the time), and has occasionally been used as an alternate Rickroll song (especially for situations where the recipient expects “Never Gonna Give You Up”).
