Harts second album was Boy in the Box, released in June 1985, which reached Diamond status in Canada (one million copies sold) by February 1986. It was only the second album by a Canadian artist ever to do so. The album featured the hit single Never Surrender which spent nine consecutive weeks at number No. 1 in Canada and peaked at No. 3 on the US Billboard Top 40, also earning Hart an ASCAP Award as one of the most played songs of 1985. Never Surrender was the No. 2 song in the year-end Canadian charts in 1985, finishing second only to the Northern Lights charity single Tears Are Not Enough in which Hart had also participated, alongside veteran Canadian artists like Gordon Lightfoot, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell and 1980s chart rival Bryan Adams. Subsequent singles all charted in the Canadian and US Top 40 (Boy in the Box, Everything in My Heart and Eurasian Eyes). In the US, Boy in the Box peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and went platinum. The title track off the second album Boy in the Box. https://youtube/watch?v=mcPr2-ipfa4
