Jody Wately - Looking for a new Love

"Looking for a New Love" is a song by American dance-pop singer Jody Watley. It was released in January 1987 as the first single from her eponymous debut album. The song became one of the biggest pop and R&B singles of 1987. Watley re-recorded and re-issued the song in various remixes in 2005.

The single hit number two for four consecutive weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 in May 1987 and spent three weeks at number-one on the Billboard R&B chart.[1] It is the only single between 1985 and 1990 in the United States to have spent four weeks in the runner-up position and not have reached number one. On the Hot 100, the single would get stuck behind Cutting Crew's "(I Just) Died in Your Arms" and U2's "With or Without You" for two weeks each, and during its run at the top of the then-Black Singles, Club Nouveau's Hot 100 number-one single "Lean on Me" was stuck behind "Looking for a New Love" for those same three weeks. It ranked number 16 on Billboard's year-end chart for 1987.
