What was TOTO's biggest hit of all time?

Toto's biggest hit of all time is Africa, released in 1982 on their quadruple platinum album Toto IV. While Toto had several major hits, Africa stands alone in terms of commercial performance, cultural impact, and longevity. Written by David Paich and Jeff Porcaro, Africa reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in February 1983, making it Toto's only chart-topping single in the United States. It also reached the top 10 in the UK, Canada, Australia, and many other countries. The song won critical acclaim and helped Toto IV win six Grammy Awards including Album of the Year. Over time, Africa has grown even bigger. As of 2026, it has been streamed over 1.5 billion times on Spotify and its official music video has over one billion views on YouTube. It has been featured in movies like Stranger Things, covered by Weezer in 2018 which itself charted, and has become a staple of pop culture, memes, and karaoke. Toto's other big hits include Rosanna, which peaked at number 2 on the Hot 100 and won Record of the Year at the Grammys, Hold the Line which peaked at number 5 in 1978, and I Won't Hold You Back which peaked at number 10. However, none have matched the enduring sales, airplay, and cultural ubiquity of Africa, making it definitively Toto's biggest hit of all time.
