#ShatteredDreams\" is a song by English group #JohnnyHatesJazz. Written by the band's lead singer Clark Datchler, their major-label debut single was a worldwide hit. \"Shattered Dreams\" entered the UK Singles Chart in March 1987 at #92 but gained popularity through extensive radio play and video rotation on MTV and quickly climbed the charts, peaking at #5 in May 1987, spending three weeks at that position and a total of 16 weeks in the chart. It went on to become a top 20 hit throughout Europe, even reaching the top 10 in many countries.
The song fared even better the following year in the U.S. There, \"Shattered Dreams\" was released early in 1988 with a totally different music video, shot entirely in black and white and directed by David Fincher, which Datchler actually preferred. The single peaked at #1 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart for one week and #2 for three non-consecutive weeks on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 chart. Billboard magazine ranked \"Shattered Dreams\" as the #26 song of the year 1988.
