Room at the Top - Tom Petty - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"Room at the Top" is a track by the legendary American rock band Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. The song was released in 1999, as the second single from the group's tenth studio album, Echo. Written by frontman and chief songwriter Tom Petty, "Room at the Top" paints a desolating picture of a man drinking by himself at a bar, trying to escape the devastating pain of his recent breakup. The song is driven forward by the band's trademark heartland rock sound, interlaced with somber undertones that mirror the album's recurring themes of heartache and reflection. According to Petty himself, the track's subject was so personal that he refused to play it live after the Echo tour. Shortly after its release, "Room at the Top" peaked at Number 1 on the US Adult Alternative Songs chart and reached Number 19 on the US Mainstream Rock chart. Echo, its parent album, entered the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 and charted in countries like Austria, Germany, New Zealand, Switzerland, Sweden, and the UK.
