Thirty years ago this week, Rosanna by Toto reached its highest position of number 12 in the UK singles chart. It had entered the top 40 two weeks previously at number 36. After one week at its peak position, the song started to slide down the chart but remained in the top 40 for another three weeks.

Rosanna was released on the CBS record label and was the third of four top 40 hits for Toto in the UK. It was taken from the gold-selling album Toto IV, which peaked at number 4 in the UK album chart.
