The #1 fan voted song of the year is....Dont Stop Believin is a power ballad by American rock band Journey, originally released as a single from their seventh studio album Escape (1981). It became a number 9 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 on its original release. In the United Kingdom, the song was not a Top 40 hit on its original release; however, it did reach number 6 on a 2009 re-release, having gained increased popularity through its use on television. Mike DeGagne of AllMusic has described Dont Stop Believin as a perfect rock songand an anthem, featuring one of the best opening keyboard riffs in rock.It is one of the top-selling catalog tracks in digital history. While the lyrics mention being born and raised in south Detroit, there is no place in the Detroit area actually called South Detroit; the location south of downtown Detroit is the Canadian city of Windsor, Ontario.Steve Perry has said, I tried north Detroit, I tried east and west and it didnt sing, but south Detroit sounded so beautiful. I loved the way it sounded, only to find out later its actually Canada.In theory, the cities south of Detroit within US borders could also be considered South Detroit, and would collectively include the Michigan cities of River Rouge, Lincoln Park, Southgate, Wyandotte, and Riverview. These cities are also formally known as Downriver.
