"Shattered Dreams" is a hit pop song by British pop group Johnny Hates Jazz.

Written by the band's lead singer, the band's debut single was a worldwide hit with a #5 placing on the UK Singles Chart in 1987.

The song fared even better the following year in the U.S. There, "Shattered Dreams" was released early in 1988 with a totally different music video, shot entirely in black and white, and the single peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and went all the way to #1 on the ARC Weekly Top 40 chart. The song also topped "Billboard's" Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks chart for one week. A midtempo club remix of the track was released on 12" vinyl.

Although the group is often mistakenly called a "one-hit wonder" in the U.S., "Shattered Dreams" was not the group's only hit in the U.S. The band's follow-up single, "I Don't Want to Be a Hero", reached #31 on the Hot 100 chart, #19 on the Hot Dance Club Play chart and #15 on the Adult Contemporary chart later in 1988, but by then singer, songwriter and keyboardist Datchler had left the group. [http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/bio/index.jsp?pid=4942] Even so, the band's third single, "Turn Back the Clock", spent twenty weeks on the Adult Contemporary charts, peaking at #5 in the final weeks of the year, though it would be the band's last U.S. charting.

"Billboard" magazine ranked "Shattered Dreams" as the #26 song of the year 1988 in their December 31 issue. [http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/esearch/chart_display.jsp?cfi=411&cfgn=Year-end+Singles&cfn=The+Billboard+Hot+100&ci=3077249&cdi=9015601&cid=12%2F31%2F1988]

Sergey Lazarev version

In 2007, Russian pop star Sergey Lazarev covered the song with a new arrangement. This was his first solo outing outside the Soviet zone and his first international single to be formally released in the UK.
