"There's No Way" is a song made famous by the country music band Alabama. The song was released in 1985 as the first track from the band's sixth album, 40-Hour Week.
The song is a love ballad, and an example of the pop-styled aspect of Alabama's core musical style.
A music video was filmed for the song, and has aired on CMT and Great American Country.
[edit] A record tied
When "There's No Way" reached No. 1 on the Billboard magazine Hot Country Singles chart in May 1985, it became Alabama's 16th straight No. 1 single in as many single releases (excepting for the 1982 Christmas single "Christmas in Dixie"). The feat allowed Alabama to tie Sonny James' 14-year-old record for most No. 1 songs in as many consecutive single releases.
