Next and Prev Post Navigation links not showing up on front page.

I copied the php directly from single.php and started a new file called home.php

My site is to start showing only my most recent post

For some reason… the next and previous post links do not show up.

this is the code im using

<div id="nav-above" class="navigation">
				<div class="nav-previous"><?php previous_post_link( '%link', '<span class="meta-nav">&laquo;</span> %title' ) ?></div>
				<div class="nav-next"><?php next_post_link( '%link', '%title <span class="meta-nav">&raquo;</span>' ) ?></div>
			</div>

if i navigate to the post, then they show up.

this seems to be an issue a LOT of people have but i can’t find the solution.

HELP!!
