"Edge of a Broken Heart" is a power ballad[3] by the American glam metal band Vixen, that was released as a single in 1988. It was written by Richard Marx, who was also on keyboards, and Fee Waybill.[4] The song peaked at No. 26 on the Billboard Hot 100, and although the band had another top 40 hit on that chart, "Cryin'", they are often cited as a one-hit wonder, with this song "being their one hit".[5][6] According to Marx's memoir Stories to Tell, Michael Landau, not the band's Jan Kuehnemund, played lead guitar on this song.[7]
