 1989, former actress Martika started a two-week run at number one with Toy Soldiers. She had two other top 40 hits, and she's written songs for others and has done backing vocals. I forgot about this song. Had to resurface it for a music flashback, I guess. Eminem also included a sample of Toy Soldiers for his Like Toy Soldiers track on his 2004 encore album. I remember that. Martika was featured in the chorus. The song peaked at 34 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. Yes.
