This Week in 80’s History!

Posted on October 15, 2022

It’s time to take a look back at This Week in 80’s History! It was on this week in:

1981 – October by U2 was released.

1981 – Physical by Olivia Newton-John was released. The first single off of the album “Physical”, would be the longest reigning #1 song of the 80s.

1983 – Cyndi Lauper released her debut album She’s So Unusual. The album would sell more than 16 million copies world wide, much thanks to the mega hit “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun”.

1989 – Look Who’s Talking premiered in theaters. One of my favorite 80’s films and would be the 4th highest grossing movie of 89 only behind Batman, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and Lethal Weapon 2, so pretty good company to be in.
