Which Guns N' Roses song peaked at number five on the US Billboard Hot 100 in 1989?

“Which Guns N’ Roses song peaked at number five on the US Billboard Hot 100 in 1989?” The answer is “Paradise City.”

“Paradise City” was released as a single from Guns N’ Roses’ debut album, Appetite for Destruction. Although the album arrived in 1987, the single was released in late 1988 and charted in the United States during 1989, reaching number five on the Billboard Hot 100.

That performance made it the band’s third US top-10 single, following “Sweet Child o’ Mine” and “Welcome to the Jungle.” It also reached number six in the United Kingdom and topped the Irish Singles Chart.

The song is notable within Appetite for Destruction because it is the album’s only track to feature a synthesizer. Its long album version runs nearly seven minutes, while radio edits were shorter. “Patience,” another major Guns N’ Roses hit, belongs to the band’s later chart history and is an easy neighboring answer to confuse with it.
