"Addicted to Love" is a song by English rock singer Robert Palmer released in 1986. It has become his signature song, thanks in part to a popular video featuring high fashion models. Other artists have since released versions of it. It is the third song on Palmer's ''Riptide'' album. The version released for commercial radio play is about four minutes long, while the album version runs a little over six minutes. The song entered the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart the week ending 8 February 1986. The song ended up topping the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, as well as the ''Billboard'' Top Rock Tracks chart. It was one of the last 45 RPM singles to receive a million-selling Gold certification. It also reached number one in Australia and number five on the UK Singles Chart. ==Background== Originally intended to be a duet with Chaka Khan, the song was made without her because her record company at the time would not grant her a release to work on Palmer's label, Island Records. Chaka Khan, however, is still credited for the vocal arrangements in the album liner notes. Andy Taylor of Duran Duran (and a bandmate of Palmer's from The Power Station) provides lead guitar. The other guitar part on the song is played by Eddie Martinez〔Blackett, Matt (1 February 2004). . ''Guitar Player''. Myspace. Retrieved 11 July 2014.〕 and keyboards by Wally Badarou. The song is also notable for its unaccompanied drum opening, which has a time signature of 7/4. The rest of the song is in common 4/4 time. Noddy Holder (the lead vocalist of English rock band Slade) stated in an interview that this song was the main track he wished he'd written himself. "The one main song that I wish that I'd written and recorded is 'Addicted to Love' by Robert Palmer. To me, that's a perfect pop song. Everything about it really hits the nail on the head."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://www.soundchecks.co.uk/articles/noholder.html )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Addicted to Love (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
