New World Man
"New World Man" is a hit single from the 1982 album "Signals" by Canadian rock band Rush. The song was the last and most quickly composed song on the album, stemming from a suggestion by then-Rush producer Terry Brown to even out the lengths of the two sides of the cassette version. It went to #1 (on the "RPM" national singles chart) in Canada, where it remained for two weeks in October 1982. It was the only single by a Canadian act to top the "RPM" chart that year. Less successful in the United States, it  nonetheless remains Rush's only American Top 40 hit, peaking at No. 21 on the "Billboard" singles chart in October and November 1982. On the "Cashbox" Top 100, it peaked at No. 35. It also hit No. 1 on the "Billboard" Top Tracks chart (the first Rush single to do so). "New World Man" reached No. 42 in the United Kingdom. A remixed version (released as a double A-side with "Countdown") later reached No. 36 in the UK in early 1983.
