“Rock Me Amadeus” is a 1985 song by the Austrian pop star Falco from his album Falco 3 that topped the singles charts on both sides of the Atlantic. It was Falco’s only major hit in the United States and one of only two singles to make the Top Ten in the United Kingdom, despite his popularity in Germany and his native Austria, and over much of Europe.
“Rock Me Amadeus” hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 on March 29, 1986. Falco is often considered a one-hit wonder in the United States because of the low ranking of his follow-up singles to “Rock Me Amadeus”. However, Falco had already had a minor US hit in 1982 with “
Der Kommissar” (later covered by After the Fire), and his follow-up single from Falco 3, “Vienna Calling”, reached #18 in the Hot 100. “Rock Me Amadeus” is ranked #44 in VH1’s 100 Greatest One-Hit Wonders.
In the United Kingdom, the song hit number one on May 10, 1986, becoming the first single by an Austrian act to achieve this distinction. In the UK, Falco is also often regarded as a one-hit wonder, although his “Vienna Calling” hit number ten.
Falco also became the first German speaking artist to achieve #1 in all mainstream US charts (Billboard Hot 100, ARC Top 40 and the US Cashbox Charts).
