My Take
Corey Hart is one of those artists whose songs you know even if you don't know his name. "Sunglasses at Night" and "Never Surrender" were inescapable in the 1980s, and selling over 16 million records while landing nine US Billboard Top 40 hits is no small feat. What I respect most is the durability: 30 Top 40 hits in his native Canada across more than 35 years, plus a 2016 Canada's Walk of Fame induction. That kind of longevity, especially out of Montreal, tells me he was far more than a one-hit synth-pop moment. He built a real, lasting catalog.
