Which Doors song reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1968?

“Hello, I Love You” reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1968.

The Doors recorded the song for their third studio album, Waiting for the Sun, and Elektra released it as a single on June 11, 1968. It topped the U.S. chart for two weeks, making it the band’s second Billboard Hot 100 number-one single after “Light My Fire.” It also reached number one in Canada.

The song had an unusually long history before becoming a hit. Jim Morrison and the early version of The Doors, then known as Rick & the Ravens, recorded it as early as 1965. Although the band later regarded its polished pop sound somewhat skeptically, the single’s direct melody and danceable rhythm helped make it a major commercial success. “Touch Me” and “Love Her Madly” were also prominent Doors singles, but neither topped the Hot 100 in 1968.
