"Nobody" is the name of a Country Music song recorded by Sylvia, that became a Number One hit on the country charts in 1982.

The song was first recorded by Country artist Sylvia in 1982. Sylvia was already a Country Music star the previous year, achieving a #1 hit and 2 other Top Tens in 1981. "Nobody" was released on Sylvia's Just Sylvia album, her newest album. The song became Sylvia's second #1 Country hit. The song was so successful, it crossed over to the Billboard Hot 100 charts, debuting on August 28, 1982 (the week the song dropped from #1 Country), peaking at #15 (20 weeks on the chart), and earning a gold record. The song even was an Adult Contemporary hit, making the Top 5. The song turned young Sylvia into a star on both sides of the charts. Although, she achieved Country Pop success with "Nobody", she never achieved another crossover hit and also never achieved another #1 hit. The song became Sylvia's signature song and also nominated her for a Grammy award in 1983 for Best Female Country Vocal Performance.
