As fans mourned the passing of C.J. Snare, who died on April 5, his band’s biggest hit entered Billboard’s Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart for the first time. 

 

“Love of a Lifetime,” co-written by the FireHouse singer and guitarist Bill Leverty, appeared on the group’s 1990 self-titled debut. 

 

FireHouse’s third single (and first-ever power ballad) broke into the Billboard Hot 100 in June 1991 and peaked at No. 5 a few months later.

 

It was also a hit in Australia and Canada and cracked the Billboard Adult Contemporary Top 40. 

 

“Love of a Lifetime” was certified gold by the RIAA in December 1991. 

 

This week marked the song’s first appearance on the Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart, where it debuted at No. 9.
