    Hey there, rock ‘n’ roll fans! Let me take you back to the fall of 1979, a time when the air was thick with melodies and the dance floors were alive with energy! We find ourselves in the world of Dr. Hook, that charming soft rock magic, with their hit single "Better Love Next Time." Released on Capitol Records, this catchy tune is plucked right from their album *Sometimes You Win*, and boy, did it make waves!

    This song isn’t just another sweet serenade! It’s a heartwarming song that taps into love and loss. Our lyrical hero is reaching out to a friend who’s been hurt in the game of love. With its smooth rhythm and gentle disco vibes, it assures us that though love might have slipped through our fingers this time, there’s always a sparkle of hope waiting just around the corner.

    "Better Love Next Time" soared to No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100, occupying the scene for a solid 19 weeks! And it didn’t stop there. It climbed to the No. 3 spot on the Adult Contemporary chart! Talk about a chart topper! Across the pond, it charmed the hearts of listeners in the UK, hitting No. 8, and it made a splash in New Zealand too—landing at No. 7. The power of love and lightness of the beat brought it to the top of the charts, making it the 49th biggest American hit of 1980—a true song with catchy hooks and relatable lyrics!

    I’m Gail Nobles. Thank you for listening to Multi-Tunes and keep on rockin.
