On this day 27 years ago<\/a>, the legendary 70s rockers Aerosmith<\/strong> made history with their iconic No. 1 single \u201cI Don\u2019t Want To Miss a Thing\u201d on September 5, 1998 \u2014 and it was their very first No. 1 after an incredible 28 years as a band.<\/p>\n The song is a total classic, and most people know it as the centerpiece song from the soundtrack of the 1998 film Armageddon. It was written by prolific American songwriter Diane Warren<\/strong>, who has written many fan favorite songs for both bands and musicians and movies alike.<\/p>\n Some of the most famous tracks by the composer, 68, include Cher<\/strong>\u2019s \u201cIf I Could Turn Back Time,\u201d Celine Dion<\/strong>\u2019s \u201cBecause You Love Me,\u201d and Toni Braxton<\/strong>\u2019s \u201cUn-Break My Heart.\u201d She has received 16 Academy Award nominations over the course of her career, but has been unable to secure a win thus far. In 2001, she was inducted into the Songwriter\u2019s Hall of Fame \u2014 which makes sense just based on her volume of songs alone.<\/p>\n Brad Whitford, Tom Hamilton, Joey Kramer, Steven Tyler and Joe Perry of Aerosmith at the 1999 Grammy AwardsJeff Kravitz/FilmMagic, Inc<\/p>\n Like Warren\u2019s Oscar plight, it took Aerosmith many years to achieve the commercial marker of success that was a chart-topping single. They were formed in Boston, Massachusetts in 1970 when iconic frontman Steven Tyler<\/strong> ended up combining his original band, Chain Reaction<\/strong>, and another group called Joe Perry\u2019s Jam Band<\/strong> after they played the same bill in New Hampshire.<\/p>\n Interestingly enough, though, the band didn\u2019t start getting the kind of mainstream success that translated into awards nominations until the late 1980s and early 1990s. They have won 4 Grammy Awards over the years and have garnered a whopping 14 nominations \u2014 and 1999\u2019s \u201cI Don\u2019t Want To Miss a Thing\u201d was their 10th nomination, yet didn\u2019t secure a win. They had previously won Grammys for 1991\u2019s \u201cJanie\u2019s Got a Gun,\u201d 1994\u2019s \u201cLivin\u2019 On the Edge,\u201d and 1995\u2019s \u201cCrazy.\u201d Plus, they did win in 1999, but for their song \u201cPink\u201d instead.<\/p>\n That said, \u201cI Don\u2019t Want To Miss a Thing\u201d was able to get its win in the form of a No. 1, which is a pretty good substitute for an award. Aerosmith was still hitting milestones nearly 30 years into their career \u2014 and that is always something to celebrate, especially 27 years on.<\/p>\n This story was originally reported by Parade<\/a> on Sep 5, 2025, where it first appeared in the News<\/a> section.
